PREFACE. 



It was while I was in college — 1842-1846 — and I think in 
1843, that I first began to think seriously of attempting to 
compile a Kingsbury genealogy. I had a few names, ob- 
tained from my grandfather, Judge John Kingsbury, but 
they were mostly without dates. TI entered into a corre- 
spondence with Russell G. Talcott, of Hartford, the father 
of Miss Mary K. Talcott, editor of this volume, and "we 
exchanged lists of names and added a few. Mr. Talcott 
was a grandson of Hon. Andrew Kingsbury, No. 845, in this 
book, and was at that time residing with his grandmother in 
Hartford. I also had some correspondence with Miss 
Harriet N. Kingsbury, of Francestown, N. H., but I found 
that she belonged to the Dedham branch. 

After a while I got Mr. J. W. Dean's brief article, in Vol. 
X of the Genealogical Register, and I obtained some names 
and dates from my father's cousin. Col. T. H. C. Kingsbury, 
and from my second cousin, the Countess de Giverville, who 
was very much interested in the work and had considerable 
correspondence with various persons of the name. 

All this work was desultory and with long interruptions. 
My first very decided assistance was obtained when the 
Rev. Lavius Hyde, then of Andover, Conn., sent me his 
compilations, which were far beyond anything I had yet 
seen, and contained several hundred names. The posses- 
sion of this stimulated me to take up the work afresh, and 
I pursued it with such leisure as I could command until I 
had collected about eight hundred names. I then became 
convinced that I should never find time to complete the 
work, and I turned over my material to Miss Talcott, who 
is an experienced genealogist as well as a Kingsbury by 
descent. She has now been at work on it a good many 
years. I have from time to time contributed such things as 
fell in my way, but have taken no very active part in the 
work. 



8 THE KINGSBURY FAMILY. 

The Rev. Dr. Addison Kingsbury, of Putnam, Ohio, 
made quite extensive collections. We corresponded and 
exchanged lists, and he visited me twice so that we might 
more conveniently compare notes. 

His son, Mr. J. A. Kingsbury of Pittsburg, Penn., getting 
impatient at the long delay, or what seemed such, of our 
work, printed a small edition of his father's papers with 
some additions of his own, in quite an elegant volume, 
which he calls "The Pendulous Book." I am sorry on the 
whole that he did this, and tried in vain to dissuade him. 
His father evidently had not intended to print his papers, 
as the earliest part of the work contains serious errors 
which I am almost sure Dr. Kingsbury had the material to 
correct in his possession and would have corrected before 
printing. The time of publication comes so near that of 
this book, and so much of the material is necessarily the 
same, that it is a pity to call on the members of the family 
to purchase two books covering so much of the same 
ground. However, Mr. J. A. Kingsbury has added an ac- 
count of rather recent Irish settlers in Ohio of the name, 
which otherwise we should not have had. 

I have said these few words not with the idea of finding 
any fault, but rather for the sake of apologizing to the 
members of the family that two books should be put out so 
nearly at the same time. 

In the course of inquiry we have obtained a good deal of 
information relative to the Dedham branch, or the descend- 
ants of Joseph Kingsbury, who with his brother John were 
among the first settlers of that town. Miss Mabel Hope 
Kingsbury, of Braintree, Mass., is compiling a genealogy of 
Joseph's descendants, and material relating to them has 
been passed over to her. 

Mr. Hyde gives Jonathan Kingsbury, Batavia, N. Y., as 
son of Jonathan of Hampton, Conn. Inquiry elicited the 
fact that Jonathan Kingsbury (a lawyer, I think), died at 
Barre, formerly a part of Batavia, about 1825. His widow, 
Sophia, married Calvin Field in 1826. It was thought that 
Jonathan had a brother, Hiram, but it was not known where 
they came from. They were not of the Hampton family, 
and I do not know how Dr. Hyde heard of them. 



PREFACE. g 

The Maryland family I got trace of from a little book of 
travels by Thomas Twining-, an intelligent Englishman who 
came here about 1800, and who, in his journeyings from 
Philadelphia to Baltimore, speaks of " Kingsbury " or 
" Kingsbury's " as a stopping-place. I found a record of 
large land holdings for several generations, but the name 
seems now to have disappeared. They appear to have come 
from England to Maryland in the 17 th century. 

In investigating the family history the Kingsburys appear 
to have been an eminently respectable people, occupying a 
prominent and often a leading place in the communities 
where they dwelt: conservative, of sound sense and judg- 
ment, and having a keen sense of humor ; peacemakers and 
peace lovers; not litigious, preferring rather to suffer wrong 
than to do wrong ; good advisers, relied on by their neigh- 
bors, dependable in all things; not ambitious, never striving 
to lead, but not shirking responsibility when put upon them; 
not often reaching very conspicuous positions in church or 
state, but frequently filling offices of much responsibility 
and usefulness ; in short, most excellent citizens. There 
seems to have been a strong military tendency in the fam- 
ily, and in this profession it has won its greatest distinction; 
but in theology, medicine, and law it has a good record. Of 
course, to all these characteristics there have been excep- 
tions, but the record is creditable. May it long continue. 




INTRODUCTORY. 



In adding another to the large number of family geneal- 
ogies already in existence, the compiler feels that she is 
increasing the stock of material now being stored up for the 
use of future historians. All such human documents are 
footnotes to history, and will surely aid materially the 
searcher into the past, who one hundred years from now 
may be drawing philosophical and physiological deductions 
from the chronicles he unearths of the restless, energetic 
race now occupying the territory covered by the United 
States of America. What results may come from the 
mingling of all peoples and races on this broad continent it 
is not the province of this chronicler to consider, but she 
has endeavored to make this history something that may 
be useful for future historians. The "directory" plan has 
not been considered as the fitting or proper one in deal- 
ing with the careers of so many individuals who lived in 
such important eras of this country's history, its settle- 
ment, colonization, War for Independence, and the occupa- 
tion of the West. The account of these individuals' services 
in war, their exertions in clearing the forests and settling a 
new territory, their activity and interest in agriculture, com- 
merce, and the industrial enterprises incident in building 
new commonwealths, are all illustrative of this country's 
growth, and the cumulative work of human beings. Each 
individual life has its personal interest, but that cannot be 
dwelt upon — 

"A sleep, a dream, a story, 
.By strangers quickly told." 

But each has his or her place in summing up the family 
characteristics. And not only in the family, but in the 
nation. George Eliot says : " That things are not so ill 
with you and me as they might have been is half owing to 

(lo) 



INTRODUCTORY. 1 1 

the number who have lived faithfully a hidden life and rest 
in unvisited tombs." Among the Kingsburys honesty and 
probity of character appear as marked features, and the 
trust and confidence inspired by those traits have led to 
long-continued terms of office in both church and state, 
especially in the church, for there have been many Deacon 
Kingsburys. Many have held official positions, and were 
evidently trusted by their neighbors, as they remained in 
office for long terms. Others perhaps less conspicuous 
before the public have done faithful service in their day and 
generation, discharging their duties " in the various stations 
to which it pleased God to call them." 

The Kingsburys have been represented in every war in 
which the country has been concerned. Many fought in the 
French and Indian wars, fifty of Henry's descendants of the 
name fought in the Revolution ; and since then Kingsburys 
have figured in all the wars in which the United States has 
been engaged, and they were in the Civil War on both sides. 
There is a solid, substantial quality in the Kingsburys, con- 
ducing to trust, and there is also a good deal of conserv- 
atism, perhaps an accompanying trait, which is exemplified 
in the good old Connecticut Deacon, Joseph Kingsbury, of 
Enfield, whose epitaph states that he " was a strict supporter 
of the good old ways of Puritans in their most early days." 
Pluck and perseverance are marked qualities too, and they 
were displayed to the fullest extent in the career of James 
Kingsbury, the first white settler of Cleveland, Ohio, who 
with his family endured almost unexampled privations. 

One of the greatest orators this country has ever pro- 
duced, Hon. Daniel Webster, was descended from Henry 
Kingsbury, through his mother, Abigail Eastman, and the 
wife of our only living ex-President, Mrs. Frances Folsom 
Cleveland, is also descended from this same Kingsbury- 
Eastman line. Senator Eugene Hale of Maine, a promi- 
nent statesman of our day, has Kingsbury blood in his 
veins. During the civil war Gen. Charles P. Kingsbury 
won distinction by his valuable services as an artillery offi- 
cer, and the brave young Col. Henry W. Kingsbury was 
killed at the head of his regiment, the Eleventh Connecti- 
cut, at the battle of Antietam. Col. Jacob Kingsbury, of 



12 THE KINGSBURY FAMILY. 

Franklin, Conn., served his country for forty years as a 
soldier, enlisting in 1775 i^ ^^^ Revolutionary army, and 
continuing in the service after that war was over; he was 
engaged for thirty years in the Indian wars on the west- 
ern frontier. His cousin and cotemporary Hon. Andrew 
Kingsbury, of Hartford, Conn., also served through the 
Revolutionary War ; then entered the Comptroller's office 
in Hartford, became Comptroller and Treasurer of the 
State, holding the latter office twenty-four years ; and he 
was also Treasurer of the School Fund, having much to do 
with the sale of lands in the Western Reserve of Ohio. 
Col. Sanford Kingsbury, of Windham, Conn., and Clare- 
mont, N. H., was a distinguished Revolutionary officer, 
serving on Gen. Sullivan's staff, and afterwards a Judge and 
Councillor in New Hampshire. The Rev. Charles Backus, 
D.D., of Somers, Conn., a very distinguished divine in his day, 
and his nephew. Rev. Azel Backus, D.D., first President of 
Hamilton College, New York, were also descendants. 

One of the earliest and most distinguished genealogists in 
New England, Mr. John Ward Dean, for a long time editor of 
the Historic-Genealogical Register, Boston, was the son of a 
Kingsbury mother. He published the first genealogical ac- 
count of the family, two brief articles in the Register, but he 
was not the first who collected material for the family history. 
This honor belongs to Hon. F. J. Kingsbury of Waterbury, 
Conn., and the Rev. Lavius Hyde of Bolton, Conn., as is de- 
scribed by Mr. Kingsbury in his Introduction. Finally, Mr. 
Kingsbury, feeling himself unable to complete the work on 
account of lack of time, put his materials in the hands of 
the present compiler, with authority to conduct researches 
in England. These latter, although not as successful as 
we could wish in finding the actual place of baptism of 
Henry Kingsbury, the first settler, have given us much 
valuable information about the Kingsbury family in Suf- 
folk, to which he undoubtedly belonged. Very careful 
researches were made in England, at first by an English 
genealogist, and later by the compiler, in two separate 
visits to the mother country. The registers were ex- 
amined in most of the parishes in Babergh Hundred, and 



INTRODUCTORY. 1 3 

also in the neighboring Hundred of Cosford ; the wills were 
examined, not only at Somerset House, London, the great 
repository for the whole Kingdom, but also the local reg- 
istries at Bury St. Edmunds and Ipswich. The Subsidy 
Rolls for Suffolk and Essex, the Feet of Fines, and other 
documents in the Public Record Office in London, were 
searched, and also the Chancery Proceedings. The Davy 
manuscript collection of materials for a history of the 
County of Suffolk, deposited in the British Museum, com- 
prising over one hundred volumes, containing heraldry, ped- 
igrees, descriptions of churches, monumental inscriptions, an 
almost inexhaustless store, was looked over, and also many 
other manuscripts and books in that world-famous library. 
The Court Rolls for the ancient manors in Boxford are not 
extant for the period between 1590 and 1650, and that loss, 
together with the disappearance of several parish registers 
in that neighborhood about those dates will probably make 
it impossible for us to discover the baptism of Henry Kings- 
bury of Ipswich and Haverhill. 

The compiler has added much to the material collected by 
Mr. Kingsbury and she also verified his records, examining 
town records and registries of probate in eastern Connecticut, 
and also in Massachusetts and Maine, and visiting many old 
graveyards. Then, also, so many genealogies and town 
histories have been printed since Mr. Kingsbury began his 
collections, that much additional material was derived from 
those sources. As the compiler was unable to devote her 
whole time to this work there has been considerable delay, 
and the work has been prolonged over more years than was 
anticipated. Delay was also caused by the difficulty of 
obtaining information from descendants, many letters of 
inquiry never being answered at all. 

The compiler particularly wishes to call the attention of 
readers of this volume to the Addenda, which contains much 
material which was not received in time for insertion in the 
proper place, and also corrections. It is often impossible to 
decide between conflicting statements furnished by different 
members of the same family, or by the family and the town 
records. Gravestones are another fertile source of variation 
in dates, and the puzzled genealogist can do nothing but note 



14 THE KINGSBURY FAMILY. 

down the figures, and leave the question open. Authorities 
have been given for military services, and when not cited for 
family records it will be understood that they are obtained 
from town and church records, and from the family them- 
selves. It has been impossible to complete all records, but 
in many cases that has been due to the failure to answer 
letters of inquiry. The difficulties of compiling a gene- 
alogy can only be realized by one who has been through 
the experience. And there are also pleasures to one who 
loves to trace the history of the past, and delights in the 
yellowed pages of old folios, and the quaint script of the 
old records. It is a delight, too, to pounce upon some 
isolated record, supplying a long-missing birth or marriage, 
and identifying some long-lost member of the race, or to 
find a lonely gravestone bearing an inscription which reveals 
the last resting-place of some wanderer from the parent 
stem. The compiler has traversed the region east of the 
Connecticut river, and the greater part of Tolland and Wind- 
ham Counties, in search of records and gravestones, as that 
district and the northern part of New London County were 
where the sons and grandsons of Henry Kingsbury settled, 
excepting one whose descendants went mostly to Maine. 
From Connecticut they went to New Hampshire, Vermont, 
New York, and Pennsylvania, and from there to Ohio, Mich- 
igan, Indiana, Illinois, and the Northwest, and on to the 
Pacific coast; and there are also several branches of the 
family living in the Southern States, more especially North 
Carolina, Georgia, Missouri, and Texas. 

From what has already been said it will probably be 
understood that this work has been carried on at the 
expense of the Hon. Frederick J. Kingsbury, of Waterbury, 
Conn., to whose generous munificence the family owes this 
volume. The cost of the English investigations has been 
all borne by him, and the numerous charges necessary for 
traveling expenses, postage, and all the preparatory work 
necessary before printing, have been most generously de- 
frayed by him. The compiler wishes also to acknowledge 
gratefully the assistance of the late John Ward Dean, of 
Boston, whose never-failing interest was always shown most 
cordially. Thanks are also due to Dr. J. J. Muskett, 56,

ance in the long and toilsome task. 

Perhaps something should be said about the differences 
in the spelling of the name, as one very important branch 
of the family use the e instead of u in the second syllable. 
As far as can be judged from an examination of old records 
and gravestones in eastern Connecticut the <? was generally 
used by Joseph Kingsbury, who came from Haverhill, and 
all his immediate descendants, but correct spelling was a 
matter of such little moment in those days it is difficult to con- 
clude whether this mode was intentionally adopted. There is 
a tradition that there was a quarrel between two brothers, 
presumably Joseph and Nathaniel, sons of Joseph", and in 
consequence one of them would not spell his name the way 
his brother did, but as I have found the e indifferently used 
in both lines I doubt the correctness of the legend. The 
English records show even a greater variety of spelling than 
those in New England, — " burie, borough, bary, bearey, 
borrowe," etc. Cotton Mather states that a certain Rev. 
Eleazer Kingsbury lopped off the first syllable and changed 
his name to Bury, and removed 'to Cape May, perhaps to 
get away from his aggrieved kinsmen.

THE FAMILY NAME IN ENGLAND. 



Before reciting- the family annals in this country we must 
turn our attention to our English progenitors. The name is 
an ancient one, and takes us back to the days of the Saxon 
Kings — that is, as the name of a place. There were four 
places of the name in England, one in the County of Mid- 
dlesex, about eight miles from London, one in Hertford- 
shire, one in Warwickshire, and Kingsbury East in Kings- 
bury Hundred, in Somersetshire on the river Parrott. Its 
ancient name was Kingsbury Episcopii,* and the manor 
was held by the Bishop of Bath and Wells. Kingsbury in 
Warwickshire belonged to the famous Countess Godiva, and 
in the Domesday book is called " Chinesburie." Leofric, 
Earl of Mercia, her husband, was descended from the Saxon 
Kings of Mercia, and inherited their ancient seat. Leofric's 
granddaughter married Turchil de Arden, one of the Con- 
queror's Norman Knights, and their granddaughter married 
Peter de Bracebridge, in whose family the lordship of 
Kingsbury remained until the time of Queen Elizabeth. A 
daughter of this race married Sir John Arden, of Arden, 
who was either the grandfather or great-uncle of Mary 
Arden, Shakespeare's mother. At all events, Shakespeare 
was descended from the Ardens, and doubtless had that fact 
in mind when he wrote the lines — 

" When nightingales in Arden sit and sing 
Among the daintie dew-empearled flowers," 

and not the forest of Ardennes in Flanders, as has been 
claimed by commentators. The Bracebridges lived at 
Kingsbury Hall, and in the church in Kingsbury their arms 

*The marriages at Kingsbury Episcopii, from 1577 to 1812, copied from the 
parish registers, have been printed in Somerset Parish Registers, Vot. V., edited by 
W. P. W. Phillimore, M.A., B.C.L., but the family name of Kingsbury does not 
appear in them at all.

may be seen impaled with those of the family of Francis, 
and curiously enough the arms of Francis are: a "chevron 
argent, between three eagles displayed gules."* These 
charges are nearly the same as those of the old Kingsbury 
coat of arms owned by Hon. Andrew Kingsbury of Hartford, 
nearly one hundred years ago, but in those azure is substituted 
for gules. It is not known where Mr. Kingsbury obtained 
these arms, but this coincidence is certainly curious. Kings-

their Court there, among whom Bertulph, King- of the 
Mercians, celebrated a Parliamentary Council there on Fri- 
day after Easter, in the year of Christ 851. . . . There 
was a stately Pallace that belonged to the Castle of Kings- 
bury, scituated at the west end of the Town of St. Albans, 
where the Saxon Kings delighted much, and their Nobles and 
Officers so often resorted thither that they became a great 
Burden and Charge to the Abbot and Monks of St. Albans, 
which induced them to purchase it ; and after they had made 
many Addresses to the King for it, Alfric, who had been 
Chancellor to King Etheldred, whilst he was a Secular, pre- 
vailed with the King to sell to them all the royal Manner of 
Kingsbury, with the Parks and Woods belonging to it, ex- 
cepting one small Fortress near the Monastery, which the 
King would not suffer to be demolisht, that the Marks of 
his Royal House might not be forgotten ; and the Abbot 
and Monks bought and enjoyed it till the time of the Disso- 
lution, when it returned to the Crown." Through various 
hands it passed to Sir Francis Bacon, Viscount Verulam, 
Keeper of the Great Seal (the great Lord Bacon), but 
when the Seal was taken from him, and he retired from 
the Court, he sold it. — Historical Antiquities of Hertfordshire,

King Ethelbert was buried at Winburne, and he was the 
third founder of the monastery of Wilton. Wulstan, Earl of 
Wilton, fought against Ethelmund, King of the Mercians, 
and conquered, but received very severe wounds of which 
he died within a year. He rebuilt an ancient church of St. 
Mary of Wilton, which had been almost destroyed by the 
Danes, and established in it a college of priests to offer up 
continual prayers both for his father, Alchmund, who had 
been cruelly put to death by Ethelmund, King of the Mer- 
cians, and for himself. After the death of Earl Wulstan, 
his wife Alburga, sister of Egbert, King of the West Saxons, 
persuaded her brother to make it a monastery of nuns, and 
of this Egbert is called the first founder. Near this mon- 
astery was the residence of Earl Wulstan, and the royal 
city in which the monastery was established was called 
Kingsbur)'', and preserves this name down to the present 
day. This monastery was founded A. D. 800, and there 
were twelve nuns besides the abbess.

6 miles N. W. of London. 

" Ching-esberie, Hundred of Helstone, Middlesex, tenet

The first individual of the name that is known to us is 
Gilbert de King'sbury, who was the incumbent of St. Peter's 
Church, Kingsbury, Warwickshire, about 1300. He prob- 
ably derived his surname from the place. In 1368 we find 
a William de Kingsbury mentioned in the will of Gervase 
de Wyllesford, Rector of Barnak, in Northamptonshire. 
There are quite a number of ecclesiastics of the name. 
David Kynnesbury {alias ap Simon), was Vicar of Cheshunt, 
Herts, appointed April 12, 1480, died 1503. Thomas Kings- 
bury was Archdeacon of St. Albans, 1517, and it was appar- 
ently another Thomas Kingsbury who was Archdeacon in 
1531, and was removed at the dissolution of the monasteries.* 
A Rev. Thomas Kingsbury was Rector of a Parish in Suffolk, 
temp. Jac. I. — Suffolk Traveller. At Halford, Kineton Hun- 
dred, Warwickshire, on the river Stone, in the southern 
part of the county, is a gravestone near the door of the 
church bearing this inscription: " Hie jacet Magister, Hen- 
ricus Kyngesberie quondam Rector estius ecclesiae, qui obiit 
I die mensis Marcii An. D. MCCCCLXXXVII — Cujus 
Animae proprietur Deus Amen." Then in the list of the 
incumbents is the following : " Henr. Kynnesbury, qui obiit 
I die mensis Marcii A. D. 1487." 

But these ecclesiastics simply show us that the name 
appears in different places and that the family must have 
been of some consequence, especially as several of them 
were Benedictines, who were called " the gentlemanly 
monks," and were the most learned order in Europe, re- 
cruited mostly from the higher classes of society. The 
Abbot of St. Albans had a seat in the House of Lords, and 
took precedence of all other Abbots in England. The first 
one of the name of real importance to us is William de 
Kyngesbury, whose name appears on the roll of Caxton's 
Manor, in Little Cornard, in Suffolk, as early as 1369, in the 
reign of Edward III, and continues until 1412, in the time 
of Henry IV, when he held Wattyscroft in the Manor of

Little Cornard, the Lordship of Thomas de Grey.* In 1414 
appears the name of John de Kingesbury. Perhaps they 
were father and son, or perhaps brothers. Whether they 
came from Kingsbury Hall, in Warwickshire, or from 
Kingsbury Episcopii in Somerset, or from Kingsbury in 
Middlesex, or were an offshoot from a Kingsbury family 
in Dorset, we shall probably never know, but they were 
undoubtedly the ancestors of the family in Suffolk from

which our ancestor, Henry Kingsbury, came, and 500 years 
is a very respectable antiquity for a family name. 

There was a family named Kingsbury in County Dorset, 
who bore for a coat of arms, "Azure, a chevron or between 
two doves in chief proper, and a serpent in base of the last. 
Crest, a wyvern vert." Motto, "Prudens et innocens,"

22 THE KINGSBURY FAMILY. 

perhaps referring to the juxtaposition of the doves and 
serpent. This may be the original stock, and John de 
Kingesbury may have come from them. 

Among the wills in the probate registry at Bury St. 
Edmunds, in Suffolk, is that of John Kyngesbury, the elder, 
of Cornard Magna, dated August lo, 1539. He was prob- 
ably a descendant of the man of the same name who was 
living in Little Cornard rather more than one hundred 
years before. He bequeaths his soul to Almighty God and 
to " our Lady Saynte Mary, and to all the blessed Saints in 
Glorye," and desires his body to be buried in the church- 
yard of St. Andrewes of Cornard. He mentions his wife, 
Elyn, several daughters, and two sons, John the elder and 
John the younger. In 1542, three years later, we find in 
the Lay Subsidy Rolls the names of two John Kyngesburys, 
one in Cornard Magna, and one in Cornard Parva, probably 
the same two Johns, and in 1544 one of them was in New- 
ton, an adjoining parish. It therefore seems probable that 
one of these Johns was the John Kingsbury who in 1578 
was living in Edwardstone, another adjacent parish, and 
had two sons, James and Roger. They had litigation about 
their father's property at that time, and it is stated that he 
was an aged man. 

This James Kingsbury died in Boxford, another near by 
parish, in 1590, leaving a wife, Agnes, and several sons. The 
oldest was James, who married Ann Francis in 1584, and had 
eight children, five sons and three daughters. Only two of 
them, James and Sarah, were baptized at Boxford, but 
James' will gives the names of all. The sons were : James, 
Henry, John, Joseph, and Thomas. Here we have the 
names of the three brothers who came to New England, 
Henry, John, and Joseph, and Thomas, another brother, 
undoubtedly the Thomas Kingsbury who, according to Gov. 
Winthrop, agreed to come, but never fulfilled his promise. 
As we know that John and Joseph of Dedham were 
brothers, and as John of Dedham names his kinsman, 
Henry Kingsbury of Haverhill, an equal devisee with the 
children of his brother Joseph, it would seem as if our 
Henry, of Ipswich and Haverhill, was a son of one of the 
other brothers, and a grandson of James Kingsbury of Box-

ford, who died in 1622. What more likely than that he 
should have been the son of Thomas, who never came, but 
sent his son in his stead? Look at the names of our 
Henry's sons, John, Ephraim, James, Samuel, Thomas, 
Joseph, four of the Christian names repeated that appear 
in the will of James of Boxford, and he himself bore the 
fifth name. Although none of them are uncommon names, 
it would appear that this repeated juxtaposition could 
hardly be accidental. 

Another point in identifying these relationships is that 
the wife of John Kingsbury of Dedham was named Mar- 
garet, and on the Assington parish register is recorded the 
marriage of John Kingsbury and Margaret Whisson in 
1618. Also on the same register is the marriage of Henry 
Kingsbury and Margaret Alabaster in 162 1, and Henry K., 
who came with Winthrop, had a wife named Margaret, and 
two children, James and Sarah, were baptized at Assington, 
probably the two children who were sick with the measles 
on board the " Talbot " in the harbor of Cowes. So every- 
thing seems to fit in properly. 

Margaret Alabaster was undoubtedly the widow of 
Thomas Alabaster, who died in Assington in 1620. He had 
married, July 8, 16 18, Margaret Blyth, and was the son of 
Roger Alabaster of Hadleigh, Suffolk, and Bridget Win- 
throp, his wife, daughter of Adam Winthrop, Esq., of 
Groton, and aunt of Gov. John Winthrop. Thus, Henry 
Kingsbury, the elder, married the widow of a first cousin 
of Gov, Winthrop, and this makes it very natural that he 
should be trusted, as he evidently was by Winthrop, with 
very important matters of business. 

A man holding a very responsible position, as a steward, 
or agent, might be called in those days a "servant," but 
that did not mean that he performed the duties of a menial. 
The word is often met with in old letters and records, but 
with a very different meaning from its present usage. Fre- 
quently younger sons and relatives of a family were em- 
ployed by the head of the house, or lived in his household^ 
and were called "servants," but they were not the hirelings 
of the present day. 

The Alabaster family held a very high position in Suffolk, 



24 THE KINGSBURY FAMILY. 

and it is hardly likely that the widow of one of them would 
marry a man of mean extraction or position.* A letter in 
the Winthrop Papers written by Rev. Henry Jacie, the 
minister at Assington, speaks of Henry Kingsburie's com- 
mission to obtain several books of theology, books that 
would only be read by a man of some education, and in 
those days a man who could read such books would have to 
be a man of learning. 

In considering these things it is necessary to remember 
the standards of those days, and that the conditions of life 
in the England of Elizabeth and James I were very different 
from those in either the England or the United States of 
the present day. It is evident from the wills of the Suffolk 
Kingsburys that they possessed considerable land, and were 
well supplied with household goods, and that they were 
yeomen, the class next to the gentry, and frequently de- 
scended from the gentry, younger sons, etc. There is 
plenty of evidence that in the same family one branch 
would be in the Herald's Visitation as gentry and another 
would be yeomen. They were the bowmen and spearmen 
who won Agincourt for Henry V, and fought the battles of 
the English Kings in France for generations, the backbone 
of the nation. 

" A Knight of Cales, a Gentleman of Wales, and a Laird of the 

North Countree, 
A Yeoman of Kent, with his yearly rent, will buy them out 

all three." 

So says an old English ballad, and this shows the estima- 
tion in which the yeoman was held ; a class that has now 
disappeared, and is mourned by many English writers of 
the Victorian age. 

*Ann Alabaster, first cousin of Thomas Alabaster, married Dr. John Still, Bishop 
of Bath and Wells, and at one time Rector of Hadleigh, Suffolk. He was the author 
of the first true English play, "Gammer Gurton's Needle," represented in Christ's 
College, Cambridge, about 1565, with its well-known drinking-song : 
" 1 love no rost, but a nut-brown teste 
And a crab laid in the fyre. 
A little bread shall do me stead. 

Much bread I not desyre ; 
No froste nor snow nor winde, I trow. 

Can hurte me if it wolde, 
I am so wrapt and throwly lapt 
Of jolly good ale and olde."

As the Kingsburys were so closely connected with Suf- 
folk, some description of that region may be interesting. 
In order to visit Assington, Boxford, Groton, and Edward- 
stone, one goes from London to Sudbury, a distance of about 
fifty miles by rail across Essex, and then obtains a convey- 
ance at the " Rose and Crown Inn," to drive through Great 
Cornard, on the river Stour, and then through Newton to 
Boxford. Edwardstone is at the further end of Boxford 
street, Assington is just beyond, and Polstead and Stoke- 
next-Nayland lie on the Essex border. The country is 
gently rolling, fertile, and well cultivated, and the landscape 
is very pleasing. The frequent windmills remind one of 
Holland and Nantucket. Gainsborough, a native of Sudbury 
in this County, has painted these hamlets and forests in some 
of his most beautiful pictures, and Suffolk was a favorite 
sketching-ground for the early English water-colorists. Box- 
ford is a typical English village with two closely built, wind- 
ing streets (like the Boston "cow-paths"), old red brick build- 
ings with thatched roofs, not a few of them probably of seven- 
teenth century date. There is also a free grammar school, 
founded by Queen Elizabeth, for twenty boys. Opposite the 
" Fleece Inn " at the upper end of the village, and reached by 
a foot bridge over the little river Box, is the pleasant old 
house occupied by Mr. Kingsbury, a house builder in Box- 
ford, with flower-garden and lawn. The compiler met two 
or three members of the Kingsbury family, now living in 
Boxford, who received her with old-fashioned hospitality, 
and they stated that they were descended from one Roger 
Kingsbury, probably Roger, brother of the first James 
K. of Boxford. The great flint church, St. Mary's, is the 
most imposing object in Boxford, a spacious edifice of the 
Early Third Pointed period. This excellent and skillful 
masonry of cut flint is a marked characteristic of Suffolk 
churches, " There is much variety of tracery in the many 
windows of the church, and here and there suggestions of 
flamboyant motifs. It includes a clerestoried nave, choir, 
aisles prolonged to the east end of the choir, north and south 
porches, the former of oak, with groinings of the same ma- 
terial, and two bays, with open sides traceried, the other of 
stone elaborately paneled, with seven niches over the

entrance with a number of inscriptions nearly obliterated, 
and at the west end an embattled tower containing a 
clock and eight bells, and surmounted by a slender spire or 
fieche. With the exception of the north porch the whole build- 
ing was restored in 1888. There is a carved oak door in the 
tower, and a small door in the south choir aisle, in addition 
to the entrances from the porches."* Floods of light stream 
through the great windows, but the interior of the church 
is quite plain, with few monuments. Probably the Puritans 
visited the church in Cromwell's time, and destroyed the 
stained glass and ancient monuments, as they did in so 
many Suffolk churches. There is a mural tablet with a 

singular epitaph : 

In memory of 

Elizabeth Hyam 

of this Parish, for the 

fourth time a Widow; 

who by a Fall, that 

brought on a mortification 

was at last 

hastened to her End 

on the 4th May, 1748, 

in her 113th Year. 

Our name occurs frequently in the Parish Register, and 
James Kingsbury, the father of Henry and John and Joseph, 
left a sum of money to be distributed to the poor of the 
parish at his funeral, and he and his parents left directions 
in their wills that they should be buried in the churchyard. 

About a mile from the village, situated in the parishes of 
Boxford, Stoke, and Assington, is Peyton Hall, now a farm- 
house, an estate granted by William the Conqueror to Rob- 
ert Malet, the progenitor of the ancient family of Peyton, 
by whom the manor was long possessed. The widow Annis 
Kingsbury of Boxford, in her will, dated 1602, gives to her 
son Henry, "my Indenture of Lease which I hold under Sir 
John Peyton, of Iselham in the County of Cambridge, 
Knight. "f 

Assington, which is also a place of interest for the Kings- 
burys, lies close by Boxford, but it is a much smaller village, 
and the old Hall, a fine Jacobean building, where the Gur-

dons lived in Henry Kingsbury's time, and still live, and the 
closely adjoining beautiful little church of St. Edmund, both 
stand in the park, some distance from the hamlet, and on the 
site of the field of the last battle fought between the Saxons 
and the Danes, in 10 16, and known as Assandun. Groton, the 
home of the Winthrops, is only half a mile from Boxford, 
and Edwardstone the same distance in another direction. At 
Edwardstone the church and " great house " are also close 
together in a beautiful park. It was formerly a village of 
considerable note on account of the Montchensy family, who 
once resided there, and there was also a religious house, a 
cell to the monastery at Abingdon, near Oxford. The parish 
registers are unfortunately lost before 1645, and that is 
probably the reason why we cannot find the baptisms of 
more of the particular Kingsbury family that we want. 
Stoke-next-Nayland, where there were many Kingsburys 
about 1600, lies two or three miles south of Boxford. The 
church tower, one of the finest in the County, deserves special 
notice. The west doorway is very rich, and the paneling 
of plinth and battlement very fine. In one of the chan- 
cel chapels, enclosed by screenwork, are monuments for the 
two wives of John Howard, Duke of Norfolk, who fell at 
Bosworth. Constable, writing co?i amore of his native valley, 
thus describes this place : " Stoke Nayland, though by no 
means one of the largest, certainly ranks with the great 

churches of the Eastern Counties, with its majestic 

tower, which, from its commanding height, may be said to 
impart a portion of its own dignity to the surrounding 
country." Between Stoke-by-Nayland and Shelly stands 
Gifford's Hall,* a fine residence of the age of Henry VIII 
(1538), although some parts are much older. It will readily 
be seen how closely connected geographically all those 
places are, and what close relationships there must have 
been among the settlers who joined Governor Winthrop's 
colony. 

Various particulars have been gathered relating to the 
name of Kingsbury in England, and some of the individuals 
evidently are connected with the Suffolk family, while 
others belong to the family in the south of England. Wil- 
liam Kingsbury, Gent., of Bungay, Suffolk, was buried in

KINGSBURY. 



The first Kingsbury in New England was Henry Kings- 
bury, who came in the Talbot, one of the ships in Governor 
Winthrop's fleet, in 1630. He lived near Winthrop in Eng- 
land, at Assington, the next parish to Groton, and there are 
references to him in the Winthrop Papers, published by the 
Massachusetts Historical Society, which show that he was 
employed in some way by Winthrop, perhaps as a messen- 
ger, or sheriff's officer, of Winthrop's manorial court, and 
they also indicate a somewhat intimate connection between 
the two men. The subjoined letters from the Rev. Henry 
Jacie to the Winthrops sustain this supposition. Mr. Jacie 
was a chaplain in the family of Brampton Gurdon, Esq., 
of Assington, and quite a prominent Puritan divine. There 
are several other references to Kingsbury in the Winthrop 
Papers. Governor Winthrop writes to his wife, " From 
aboard the Arbeila, riding at the Cowes, March 28, 1630," 
just before the departure from England, *' Henry Kings- 
bury hath a child or two in the Talbot sick with the measles, 
but like to do well." * After his arrival, in writing to his 
son, John Winthrop, Jun'', July 23, 1630, from Charles- 
town, he again mentions him, saying that " Henry Kings- 
bury hath appointed money to be paid to you by [ ]." f 

John Winthrop the younger, in a letter to his father in 
Massachusetts, dated Dec. 9, 1630, in speaking of a document 
to be executed, evidently an indenture, or lease, conveying 
lands, says : " M'. Gurdon desireth that M''. Ludlow J and 
goodman Kingsbury of Assington be 2 of the witnesses to

Connecticut.

it."* Thomas Kingsbury, perhaps a brother of Henry, 
agreed to embark with him, but apparently never came.f 
In the addenda to Winthrop's History of New England the 
Governor gives an account of cows and other animals that 
he had, and also says that he had one of Kingsbury's cows. 
Ephraim Child, of Roxbury, writing to Governor Winthrop, 
letter undated, says : " The last night, late, goodman 
Pease sent yo'" servant, Henry Kingsbury, for a payre of 
bullocks." \ 

In the Parish Register at Assington are two entries, 
among the marriages, of the name of Kingsbury : 

1618, John Kingsbery and Margaret Whisson, the 8"' of 
March. 

162 1, Henerie Kingsberie and Margaret Alabaster, the 
iS^" of May. 

These are, perhaps, the two men referred to in the Win- 
throp Papers, and presumably the same Henry and John 
Kingsbury who were in the Massachusetts Colony at an early 
date : Henry in Boston in 1630, and John at Watertown in 
1635, afterwards of Dedham. Henry Kingsbury and Mar- 
garet his wife were admitted to the First Church, Boston, 
and are numbered 25 and 26 on the list. Savage says in his 
Genealogical Dictionary, III, 28 : "Against her name being- 
written ' dead since ' ; that means, I presume, to refer to 
original MS. Xo^X. 2JL\.Q.x the third or fourth year." There is 
no further record of either of them, and it is supposed that 
the children who were sick on the Talbot in March, 1630, 
must have died then, or at a subsequent time. It is possible 
that Henry Kingsbury returned to England. Indeed that 
seems the most probable reason that we can find no record 
of his death, or administration on his property. On the 
Parish Register at Assington are recorded the baptisms of 
two children of Henry and Margaret : 

1622, James Kingsberie the sonne of Henrie Kingsberie 
and Margaret his wife, the first of September. 

1624, Sarah Kingsbury the daughter of Henry Kingsbury 
and Margrett his wife, the first of August. ^

t Winthrop's New England, II, 340. 

X In 1639, John Winthrop made a draft of a will, not then completed, in which 
he mentions " my three oxen in Eph. Child's keeping." 



HENRY KINGSBURY OF ASSINGTON. 



79 



The Register at Assington also records the marriage of 
Thomas Alabaster, and Margaret Blyth, the S^^ of July, 1618, 
and the burial of Thomas Alabaster, the 18"' of September, 
1620. It seems very probable that this widow Margaret 
Alabaster was the Margaret Alabaster who married Henry 
Kingsbury the following year. Thomas Alabaster was the 
son of Roger Alabaster, of Hadleigh, and Bridget Winthrop, 
his wife, daughter of Adam Winthrop, Esq^, of Groton, and 
aunt of Governor John Winthrop. 

This shows a connection between Henry Kingsbury's 
wife and the Winthrops, and makes it very natural that he 
should be employed by them in looking after their affairs. 
It may be remarked that the word "servant" in those days 
did not possess the entirely servile meaning given it now, 
and a man holding a very responsible position, such as stew- 
ard, or agent, might be called a "servant," not meaning 
thereby that he performed menial duties. The Alabaster 
family was a prominent one at Hadleigh, in Suffolk,* where 
there are memorial brasses in the church, one of Thomas 
Alabaster, 1592, an uncle of Thomas Alabaster, of Assmg- 
ton. A daughter of this Thomas Alabaster married John 
Still, D.D., Bishop of Bath and Wells, a once famous divine, 
and author of "Gammer Gurton's Needle," the earliest 
English comedy. William Alabaster, son of Roger and 
Bsjdget (Winthrop) Alabaster, and brother of Thomas of 
Assington, was a clergyman and a poet, celebrated in his 
day for the depth of his erudition, and the beauty of his 
Latin verses. He was born in Hadleigh in 1568, and re- 
ceived his early education in the Grammar School of his 
native town, an A.B. of Trinity College, Cambridge, 1587, 
and A.M. 1591. In 1592 he was incorporated of the Uni- 
versity of Oxford, and Wood in his "Athenae Oxonienses " 
speaks of him as " the rarest poet and Grecian that any day, 
age or nation ever produced." He held the rectory of Thor- 
field, in Hertfordshire, and was made a Prebendary of St. 
Paul's, and in 1614 a D.D. He died in 1640, after a life spent 
in literary and philosophical pursuits. Another brother, 
John Alabaster, was baptized in Groton in 1580, and "was 
killed in warre in the lowe countries," according to the 
Parish Register.

Rev. Henry Jacie to John Winthrop.* 

To the Right Worshipfull J/'. Winthrop in London these be dd. 

Worthy sir. — 'W. Giirdon riding toward Dedham this morning (not 
to return this day) cal'd at the house of our honest neighbor Goodman 
Kingsbury and then percieving how ill he was, he being in bed there, he 
wished them there to send for me to come thither to see and here how it 
was with him, that I might write to your worship to certify you thereof: 
for he had writ to you but knew not so well how this party was. 

Now these are therefor to inform your Worship according to his and 
his wifes relation (of whose truth I dare not doubt) that he is of great 
weakenes, and more within this fortnight than of late, insomuch that 
one Physitian tells him he is in danger of his life, another saith he is so 
dangerously sick he dare not advise him to purge, it would kill him, nor 
to let him blood he is so weak, and that he is in danger of a consump- 
tion, the state of his body being changed to worse, so that now he is not 
able to go about his ordinary work. He endeavored of late to have done 
somewhat, easily, but hath been the worse ever since, so thaj he hath 
been glad to keep his bed til noon or thereabout every day this sennight. 
Altogether unable to travel. 

Whereas he had a warrent of your Worship to attach the bodies of his 
assaulters to appear at the Assize, one that was the Constables deputy 
(as he said) left word at his house from Sir Robert (Crane), that they 
were brought before him, and he had bound them over to the Sessions. 
Now he fearing lest things should not be rightly carried, (not being able 
to go thither if he should live so long) desires your Worships direction 
what course might be thought best to be taken, and your furtherance 
therein for having the case brought to the Size if it may be and you 
think good. 

As to himself he is noways able to go to London for my Lords as- 
sistance to take his oath, &c. But if need be his brother would be will- 
ing to go for him. I need not use any motives to one that so knows the 
cause & whose heart the Lord hath set for him & his & to be with the Lord 
to help against the mighty. The Lord enable your Worship still to pro- 
ceed in so doing. Yea while you are for Him he will be for you, he will 
not leave you nor forsake you. To whose Grace which is sufficient I 
desire humbly to command you & so I take my leave resting 
Your Worships to be commanded in him

but now I perceive not that himself hath written to you ; whereby I fear 
lest they mistook part of his words But I know he proposed to certify 
you of it to further the procurement of the Lord Chief Justice's help to

May it please you therefore to write to M'' Gurdon about it. 

Rev. Henry Jacie to John Winthrop, Jr., 1630-31.* 

Addressed to him at York. 

Deare Sir, — How much am I endebted to you for your great pains & 
love, w'^''. hath endeared you yet more tinto me ; If I sh**. heare it turnes 
to yo^ hurt any way, I must needs sympathize w"". you. 

One or 2 Questions came not to my mind, w'^''. I would entreat by you 
to be resolved in. viz'. Seing such a company of Christians have fore 
intended such a one to be their minister, & he to accept it. Whether in 
their fast they desire Gods directing in y". choise (when they have no 
other fit to be chosen) or its only for Gods blessing his pains, etc. Also, 
Whether they use imposition of hands, or by whom, & when. And 
whether any imposition on the Elder, & by whom, or on the Deacon. 

Now, S^, since yo''. going to York, I have found H Kingsburies L\ 
(w'''. I could not light on), the bookes he desired me to procure him were 
these 3. I. A Treatise of Faith. (I suppose The Doctrine of faith by 
M^ Jo. Rogers would be as useful to him, & about the same price.) 2. 
Perkins Principles. 3. The Sweet Posie for Gods S". (2d a peece, y*'. 
I. ab'. 8'*). He writ I would pay for them. We shal be further indebted 
to you if you can procure y". Map, y". Pattents Copie, y^ Model of Char- 
ity (also what Oath is taken), M'. Higginsons Lv, & the Petition to our 
Ministers for praying for them, made at their going, w"^*". is in print. 
W'"''. of these you can best, w"'. y°^ L^, give to M^ Overton, Stationer 
in Popes head Alley, my good friend, & receive money of him for them 
by or for writing (giving him this note,) that he may send them by York 
Carrier either to y" now L. Maiors, or to M^ John Penrose, Attorney, 
for me. But I pray you resolve me those ques. now, (for I suppose you 
ar not gone fro York.) 

Remember my kind respect & love to M^ Downing, M^ Rob Gurdon 
w"'. M''». Gurdon & M^ Edward Gurdon, and to M^ Huison at London

the church in 1638 he was thought "too much addicted to 
the world," but on the 9*^'' of the 2" m: 1641 "y'' church was 
so well p'suaded of his repentance and faith as y* he was re-

Op^ Haverhill, Mass., and his Descendants. 

Henry Kingsbury was at Ipswich in 1638, according to 
Felt's History. The Hammatt Papers do not give his resi- 
dence so early, but state that he was a commoner in Ipswich 
in 1641. He subscribed 2^ to the Major Denison fund, Dec. 
19, 1648. The same year, 1648, Feb. 8, he sold his farm in 
Ipswich, 32 acres, for ^5 to Thomas Safford, but this does 
not mean that he left Ipswich then, for the same year he 
bought of Daniel Ladd, of Haverhill, " house and land on 
High St. in Ipswich,"* and twelve years later, Aug. 30, 1660, 
Henry Kingsbury and Susan his wife, of Ipswich, sold to 
Robert Lord their House and Land on High Street for two 
Oxen in hand — _;^5 to be paid Robert Paine and 40' to 
Edmund Bridges. The same year Henry Kingsbury, Row- 



*The present writing witnesseth that Daniel Ladd, of Haverhill, in 
the County of Norfolk, husbandman, for and in consideration of ten 
pounds to him in hand paid, have bargayned and sould and by these 
presents doth confirm that his bargayne and sale unto Henry Kings- 
bury, of Ipswich, in the County of Essex, husbandman, all that his 
house wherein the said Henry now dwelleth ; situate and being in Ips- 
wich aforesaid, in the street called High Street, having the orchard and 
garden of William Payne on the Northwest, a lane towards the South- 
east ; one end abutting on the said street ; butting at the other end on 
the land of Thomas Safford. To have and to hold the said house with 
the land about it, and all the appurtenances and privilidges thereto be- 
longing, unto the aforesaid Henry Kingsbury and his heirs forever. 

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal, 31 of 
March, 164S.

ley, late of Ipswich, and Susan his wife, sold six acres to 
Reinold Foster. Henry Kingsbury was one of the inhabi- 
tants of Ipswich who signed a petition, May 17, 1658, stating 
that they have all taken the oath of fidelity, but are not 
freemen. They claim the right to vote in town affairs, 
which had been questioned in town meeting. Mass. Ar- 
chives, 112, fol. 104. In 1 66 1-2-3 he was overseer "for 
Pentucket side," for fences and highways in Rowley. His 
farm was on the Merrimack in that part of Rowley after- 
wards Bradford. March 3, 1667/68, "it was voted and 
granted that Henry Kingsbury shall have ten acres of 
land which is to be laid out unto him, adjoining to M'' 
Ward's farm, to the west of Hawke's meadow path, not 
prejudicing any other man." Haverhill Records. In 1669 
he gave a deposition in court, and stated that he was 54 
years old, therefore born in 1615. This shows that he could 
not have been a son of the elder Henry and Margaret Ala- 
baster, who were married in 1621, although the elder Henry 
may have had a previous wife. A Henry Kingsbury w^as 
married to Jane Waryn, Dec. 5, 1613, at Stoke by Neyland, 
County Suffolk, and it is quite possible that they were the 
parents of Henry of Ipswich and Haverhill, and it may be 
the same Henry who later married Margaret Alabaster, and 
came to New England. Still, there is no evidence to show 
that the younger Henry was a son of the elder. =*" As Ipswich 
was settled under the leadership of the younger John Win- 
throp, the fact that Henry Kingsbury was an early settler 
there would seem to indicate that the connection between 
the Winthrops and the Kingsburys, before spoken of, lasted 
for another generation in this country. It may also be re- 
marked that at Haverhill, where Henry Kingsbury finally 
settled, the Saltonstalls owned much land, and they mar- 
ried with a family from the same Suffolk neighborhood, 
the Gurdons of Assington. The Rev. John Ward, the first 
minister of Haverhill, was born in Haverhill, in Suffolk, 
and his first service in the ministry was at Iladleigh, in 
Suffolk, only a few miles from Boxford and Assington. 



* As stated before, John Kingsbury of Dedham, called Henry, of Haverhill, his 
kinsman, and made him an equal divisee with the children of his brother Joseph.

HENRY KINGSBURY OF HAVERHILL. 87 

There was some relationship between Henry Kingsbury 
and John Gage, who was a neighbor of Kingsbury at Ips- 
wich, and afterwards at Rowley, as the following deposi- 
tions show:

neighbor of Kingsbury.* Gage deposed in 1662 that he 
was aged about 58, therefore a somewhat older man than 
Kingsbury. His first wife was Amee, who died in June, 
1658. Either she was Kingsbury's sister, or Kingsbury 
married Gage's sister.f Gage died March 24, 1672/3 ; his will 
mentions wife Sarah, five sons and one grandson. Henry 
Kingsbury was one of the appraisers of John Gage's estate, 
March 26, 1673, ^^^ S'lso of Jonathan Gage's estate, March 
15, 1674/5. 

Susanna, wife of Henry Kingsbury, died in Haverhill, 
February 21, 1678/9. He died in Haverhill, October i, 1687. 

The inventory was taken Oct. 10, 1687, by Josiah Gage 
and Jonathan Haynes, amounting to ^40. 19^ 6^. Returned 
by Joseph Kingsbur}'', who was appointed administrator.

from thence upon a straight line to a white ash in a swamp; from thence 
upon a straight line to a white oak at the end of a swamp; from thence 
to a forked white oak by the highway; from thence it runs as ye fence

21 Colonel John' Kingsbury {Henyy\ Johu\ John'',

but a few years before his death he removed to Maine, and 
was one of the founders of Pownalborough. He married at 
Newbury, June 5, 1739, Patience Tappan, born in Newbury 
April 20, 1720, daughter of Abraham Tappan and his wife, 
Esther, daughter of Rev. Michael Wigglesworth, author of 
the " Day of Doom." Colonel Kingsbury's military services 
were distinguished, especially in the winter campaigns at 
Lake George, in 1755-6 and 1756-7. Previously he had 
been a captain in the regiment of Col. John Greenleaf. 
Early in the season of 1755 the erection of a fort at LS.ke 
George was authorized. The French and the Indians were 
continually making inroads and devastations upon the set- 
tlers up and down the lakes, thus causing them to be a high- 
way for the destruction of the English people. Colonel 
Moses Titcomb of Newbury led his Essex County regiment 
to that region, to join the army under the command of Lord

Amherst. In an engag-ement, September 8, 1755, Colonel 
Titcomb was killed. During the summer it was known that 
warlike operations were imminent, and in August, 1755, a 
reinforcement was summoned, men lieing wanted who 
should not only render full military duty, l)ut who could 
also construct vessels and storehouses. To this summons 
John Kingsbury and picked men from various military bod- 
ies of Essex county responded. These soldiers were also 
ship-carpenters. John Kingsbury is styled in the muster- 
rolls, Lieutenant-Colonel and Captain, aged thirty-eight 
years, and a resident in the town of his birth — Newbury. 
His service began Sept. 9, 1755, and continued until the fol- 
lowing February, though some of his men were relieved a 
few weeks earlier. His company was attached to the regi- 
ment of Colonel Ichabod Plaisted. In one of the muster- 
rolls* he is styled " Colonel," with " a Company of Carpen- 
ters at Lake George," "Building vessels at the Lakes, store- 
houses, &c." His first term of service comprised " 23 weeks 
and 5 days," and he was allowed " 15 days travel from Al- 
bany." His company of carpenters was made up largely of 
Newbury, Ipswich, and Salisbury men. The flotilla which 
they assisted in constructing became famous in the annals 
of the French and Indian War. The two winter seasons at 
the lakes, doing nominal military duty, since the lakes were 
frozen, and active military operations well-nigh impossible, 
was a service which called for men skilled as well as patri- 
otic. The " Reduction of Canada " was largely due to the 
splendid service of this " flotilla," which was constructed by 
men who were well informed both about military matters 
and ship-building. After his campaigns were over. Colonel 
Kingsbury returned to an active business life in Newbury, 
and also resumed his place in the Newbury train-band. In 
1762 he removed to Pownalborough, where he became a ver}» 
prominent citizen. At a special town meeting, held July 24, 
1764, it was " voted to raise the sum of One Hundred Pounds 
L. M. to build a Town House, or a House for the Publick 
Worship of God & that a Committee be Chose for the Man-

agement of said Sum & that Job Avrill, John Decker & John 
Kingsbury Esq"", be y^ Committee." He built the first two- 
storied house in that part of Pownalborough (now Wiscas- 
set) where he lived. He died in Boston Aug. 22, 1764, where 
he had gone on business connected with building the meet- 
ing-house at Pownalborough. The following account of his 
death is from the Massachusetts Gazette, Thursday, Aug. 23, 
1764: "Monday last arrived here Capt. Robert Hodge 
from Pownalborough at the Eastward, with whom came 
passenger John Kingsbury, Esq"", who the same night was 
seiz'd with a Fit of Apoplexy and continued in a stupid 
frame till Yesterday Afternoon when he expir'd, being in the 
47*'' Year of his Age. He was lately a Colonel in the Pro- 
vincial Service to the Westward, and one of his Majesty's 
Justices of the Peace for the County of Lincoln ; both of 
which Trusts he executed to the honor of himself and Ben- 
efit of the Community. His remains are to be interred This 
Afternoon, from Mrs. Maverick's at the North End." Mrs. 
Maverick lived in Union street, on the corner of Salt Lane 
nearest Dock Square.* His estate was administered upon 
Sept. 7, 1764, by his widow Patience. Inventory taken Nov. 
21, 1764, by Benjamin Woodbridge of Newcastle, Michael

36 Hannah" Kingsbury {/o/i//\ Henry\ Jo/in\ JoJm^, 
Henry^), married in Newbury, March 24, 1757, Captain Tim- 
othy Pike, Jr., a descendant of Joseph and Susanna (Kings- 
bury) Pike. He was called captain because in early life he 
commanded a tender, a vessel which carried supplies to the 
army in the old French war, and it is the tradition that he 
was attached to that part of the army in which Col. Kings- 
bury was an officer. He became a manufacturer of scythes 
and other edged tools, and removed from Newbury to Fal- 
mouth (now Portland). In JVillis's History of Portland^ 336,

burning of Falmouth by the British Oct. 18, 1775, and he was 
one of a committee who signed an address to the people of 
Ireland on that subject. Mrs. Hannah (Kingsbury) Pike 
died May 22, 1774, in Portland, and Mr. Pike married Oct. 
18, 1774, a second wife, Elizabeth Jones, by whom he had 
several children. In 1785 he was one of the signers of a 
petition for the incorporation of the town of Portland. A 
few years before his death he removed to Sacarappa village, 
within the limits of ancient Falmouth, now Westbrook, and

1823 settled in Portland, Maine. He died in Portland, Jan.

John, born in New York, July 11, 1847; resides in Lunenburg, 
Mass. (1892). 

5 John Ward, born in Wiscasset, March 13, 1815; married in Boston, 

June 29, 1853, Lydia, dau. of John Scottow and Abigail (Em- 
erson) Dean, born in Woburn, Mass., Sept. 5, 1826; they have 
no-ch. Mr. Dean's schooling began in the district school of 
the village of Mount Vernon, when he was five years old, 
where he attended a man's school in winter and a woman's 
school in summer, as was then customary in small villages. 
His schooling ended with four months in the Portland High 
School. Then he learned the bookbinder's trade. In his boy- 
hood Mr. Dean was very fond of reading, but he had very 
little opportunity for selection ; he read Rogers' " Pleasures 
of Memory," Young's " Night-Thoughts," Thomson's "Sea- 
sons," and during his apprenticeship he purchased Aiken's 
" British Poets." After he went into the bookbinding trade 
he had books enough to read, and soon began to collect a 
library. In pursuit of his trade he came to Boston in 1835, 
and subsequently was in the employ of bookbinders in Provi- 
dence, New York, and Philadelphia. In 1841 he went into 
the bookbinding business for himself in Providence, and sub- 
sequently in Boston. After a few years he confined his busi-

ness to stamping and gilding, an enterprise which he success- 
fully conducted until 1872. But the life of John Ward Dean 
has centered about the New England Historic Genealogical 
Society. To it he has given his best thought and his unwea- 
ried service. He has been a member since 1850, and a life- 
member since 1859 ; from 1855 to 1857 he was treasurer ; from 
1857 to 185S, recording secretary; from 1859 to 1862, corre- 
sponding secretary; director from 1855 to 1889; member of 
the council from 1892 until the present time ; on the commit- 
tee of publication since 1854 ; librarian from 1872 to 1889 ; the 
latter year he gave up his position and devoted himself to 
editing the Register, but was reappointed in 1S92, and still 
holds the office ; he has been editor of the New England 
Historic Genealogical Register since 1876, and before that 
date he was associate editor for several years, and from 1864 
to 1876 a member of the club pledged to support the maga- 
zine. The value of his labors in connection with the Regis- 
ter cannot be overestimated. To him, more than to any one 
else, is due its success. The Register has stimulated re- 
search in fields which would otherwise have remained unin- 
vestigated, and has made invaluable contributions to the his- 
tory and genealogy of New England. The positions which 
he has held in the N. E. Historic Genealogical Society, and 
his intense interest in historical matters, have combined, with 
an accurate memory, to give Mr. Dean the vast fund of de- 
tailed historical knowledge which he has at easy command, 
and has been ready to share, in his modest and kindly way, 
with all who have sought his assistance Indeed, he has 
often suggested the writing of a book which has proved a val- 
uable addition to historical literature. All efforts to render 
the early history of our country more accessible to the gen- 
eral reader have enlisted Mr. Dean's heartiest support. He 
was one of the charter members of the Prince Society, organ- 
ized in 1858, whose object was the publication of rare works 
in print or manuscript, relating to America, and he was also 
president for ten j^ears. Space does not permit the mention 
of all the historical societies of which Mr. Dean is a member. 
More than twenty-five societies, not all confined to the United 
States, have placed his name on their rolls. In 1869 Dart- 
mouth College recognized Mr. Dean's attainments, and hon- 
ored him with the degree of A.M. Mr. Dean's writings have 
been mainly confined to .short biographical sketches and some 
genealogical work. The sketch of " Henry Kingsbury and 
his Descendants," published by him in the Register of 1859, 
was the first attempt to print any account of the Kingsbury 
family. He wrote Memoirs of his ancestors. Rev. Nathaniel 
Ward, author of the " Simple Cobbler of Agawam," in 1868,

and of Rev. Michael Wigglesworth , in 1871. Among his an- 
cestors were also Governor Thomas Dudley, Henry Sewall, 
Mayor of Coventry, in England, and Rev. John Woodbridge, 
of Andover and Newbury. To sum up, it may fairly be said 
that Mr. Dean has done more to awaken an interest in care- 
ful research into the early history of New England than al- 
most any other man. [Condensed from a sketch of Mr. Dean, 
by Ruth Wood Hoag, A.B. , in the Genealogical Advertiser,

14, 1838, Nancy Pike, daughter of Benjamin W. and Martha 
(Pike) Lowell, born in Salisbury, Mass., March 28, 1817. 
When about eleven years old he was placed in the care of 
Captain Reuben Osgood of Salisbury Point, while running 
a vessel between Salisbury and the coast of Maine. From 
a cabin boy he advanced to second and first mate of several 
ships, all the while studying thoroughly the system of navi- 
gation, and fitting himself for the position he sought, that of 
captain of a merchant vessel. He was finally placed in 
charge of a ship belonging to Caleb Cushing, and sailed out 
of Newburyport on several voyages to foreign parts, see- 
ing service on the ocean for twenty-four years. In 1846 he 
entered the West India goods trade at Salisbury Point, in 
company with Robert Fowler. The firm continued for 
several years, when Captain Kingsbury purchased Fowler's 
interest at Salisbury Point, and largely increased the busi- 
ness, adding coal supply, purchasing coal by the ship load. 
He constructed coal sheds and was the pioneer in this 
branch of trade, and at one time he was one of the wealth- 
iest men of the town, and active in advancing its interests ; 
but reverses of fortune followed to some extent, and he re- 
tired from active business life. Captain Kingsbury was the 
oldest member of the Powow River Lodge of Odd Fellows 
at the time of his death. His wife died Sept. 3, 1888. He 
died in Salisbury Point, Amesbury, Aug. 6, 1890.

JAMES KINGSBURY OF PLAINFIELD. 



IV James' Kingsbury {Heurf), married, at Haverhill, 
January 6, 1673, Sarah, daughter of Matthias and Lettyce 
Button, of Haverhill, born in 1650, sister of his brother 
John's wife. He removed before 1699 to Plainfield, Conn. 
This tract of land was bought by Governor John Winthrop, 
Jun''., of Allumps, the Indian Sachem, and the purchase was 
confirmed by Charles II., so apparently James Kingsbury 
was still keeping to the family tradition in going where 
the Winthrops went. But the land was also claimed by 
Owaneco, Sachem of IMohegan, and he made grants, and 
sold portions of it to various individuals, notably Major 
Fitch, and the Gallups. After the election of Fitz John 
Winthrop as Governor of Connecticut in 1698, his request 
for the confirmation of his Quinebaug lands received due 
consideration from the General Assembly. In May, 1699, 
the inhabitants east and west of Quinebaug river presented 
to the General Court a petition that their settlement be 
made a township, and that the land be laid out in accord- 
ance "with our Honorable Governor's claim," and that the 
Assembly would appoint Captain Wetherell, Mr. Pitkin, and 
Mr. Ely, to inquire into the legal proceedings, "and inform 
the weak and feeble that they may have a more speedy and 
peaceable settlement, so that we may have the worship of 
God among us." James Kingsbury was one of the peti- 
tioners. He also signed a petition, Nov. 13, 1699, that the 
town might be incorporated, and that they might have "an 
able, faithful, orthodox gospel minister, so that the sure 
worship of God may be at all times upheld and maintained 
amongst us."* In Oct., 1700, the General Assembly author- 
ized Fitz John Winthrop to name the new plantation at 
Quinebaug. James Kingsbury's land was in the fourth 
division, abutting north on Moosup river, and he was one 
of the patentees named in the Plainfield patent, Dec. 17, 
1706, granted by the Colony of Connecticut. James Kings- 
bury conveyed to Ephraim Kingsbury, of Plainfield, all his

formed to the Church of England, and for a number of j^ears 
he officiated as a lay reader to the Episcopalians in Litchfield, 
entertaining until at least as late as 1747 a design of crossing

pose. He seems to have spent his life mainl}- as a school- 
teacher. About 1767 he was one of the prominent settlers of 
Claremont, N. H.; justice of the peace; town clerk, 1771, 1772, 
1773 ; in 1769 he received, from the Venerable Society for the 
Propagation of the Gospel, the appointment of Catechist and 
Schoolmaster at that place, with an annual stipend of ^^15. 
He conducted the services of the Church of England there 
until the arrival of an ordained clergyman in 1773. At the 
outbreak of the Revolution his sympathies were with the Brit- 
ish. He died in Claremont, Oct. 19, 1777, in his 67th year. 
He married Mary Dean, at Stratford, Conn., April 6, 1753.

folk, now being of Susquehanna," Nov. 5, 1773, land in the south 
part of the present town of Plymouth, Pennsylvania. March 2, 
1774, he was chosen a Selectman of Westmoreland, and Sur- 
veyor of Highways. Aug. 26, 1776, Congress commissioned 
Samuel Ransom to be Captain of a company raised for the 
defense of Westmoreland. This was known as the Second 
Independent Company for the Revolutionary service, and was 
attached to the Connecticut line. They joined the Continental 
army at Morristown, N. J., in January, 1777, and were engaged 
in the battles of Millstone, Brandy wine, Germantown, Bound 
Brook, and Mud Fort, and in other lesser engagements. In 
June, 1778, Captain Ransom resigned to go to his home and de- 
fend it against the British and Indians under Col. John Butler. 
He reached Forty Fort on the morning of the massacre, July 3, 
1778, and reported to Col. Zebulon Butler, the American com- 
mander, as a volunteer aide. He fully sustained his reputation 
as a cool and fearless soldier, and was killed in the heat of the 
fight. His house was burned, and his family fled down the 
valley with the other refugees. After the advance of Sullivan's 
army the family returned and occupied their land, only to be- 
come involved in the troubles growing out of the struggle for 
the ownership of the valley between the Connecticut and Penn- 
sylvania authorities. In Nov. 1783, Mrs. Ransom and her 
daughters were, in the most inhuman manner, turned out of 
their house in a cold and bitter storm to seek shelter as best 
they might, by the Pennsylvanians. Mrs. Esther Ransom m.

frontier settlement. The nearest white neighbors on the 
east were at Malone, S3 miles away, and on the west at 
Canton, 20 miles awa}*.* Dr. Pettibone took 320 acres of 
land, and built two log houses, about 20 x 30, w-ith a 
" space " of 6 or 8 feet between them, which was roofed 
over. In these houses not a board was used. The floors 
were made of split bass-wood, and the doors were of rived 
cedar shingles, hung upon wooden hinges, with a wooden 
latch and a leather string. The family raised flax and hemp 
and their own wool, to be made into cloth upon the loom in 
the west building, or kitchen. In summer time the boys 
wore only tow frocks and trousers, going barefoot, and 
generally bareheaded. They made their entire supply of 
sugar from the maple sap, and raised for breadstuff all the 
wheat, rye, and com that was used. At first the grain was 
pounded in a hollow stump, with a primitive pestle attached 
to a bent sapling. The ^earest grist mill was fort}' miles 
away. In the earliest days they " slashed " the trees, and 
burned over pieces of land, then took a hoe and buried the 
seed com, and the crop was not again touched until harvest 
time. In 1806 or 7 Dr. Pettibone built the first frame 
building in the town, and in this structure the first church 
in Stockholm was organized, (Congregational,) with seven 
members, by Rev. Amos Pettengill, a missionary sent out 
by the Connecticut Missionary' Society. The first school in 

* It is stated that "Lezzor" Tarbell, an Indian chief, and other Tarbells, fre- 
quently came to the home of Dr. Pettibone to see his wife, their " cousin," and that 
they were related to the Kingsburys. Lezzor was accnstomed to sleep on the kitchen 
floor, and could not be induced to get into a bed. He was a son of one of the three 
Tarbell children wJio were carried off June 20, 1707, by the Indians from Groton, 
Mass., while picking cherries one evening' — so tradition says — being captured 
before they had time to get down from the trees. They were taken to Canada, 
and the boys remained with their captors at Caughnawaga. They were children of 
Thomas and Elizabeth (Blood) Tarbell, and were probably related to the Kingsburys 
through the Whitneys. (See p. 116.) Governor Hutchinson met them near Albany 
in 1744, when they had become important men and chiefs. With their families, and 
others of the tribe, they established the village of St. Regis on the St. Lawrence. 
Their descendants were also chiefs, and one of them was a scholar in Wheelock's 
Charity School, at Hanover, N. H. Ira Pettibone once came to Albany with horses 
and sleigh to bring the St. Regis headmen to receive their Government annuity, 
and with them also came Jacob Peter Tarbel, a student in the Foreign Mission 
School at Cornwall, Conn., in 1S23. See Hough's History of St. LanTence and

the town was also taught in this building by Miss Almira 
Pettibone. During the war of 1812, by vote of the town, 
a stockade of pickets, 15 feet high, was built around Dr. 
Pettibone's house, (inclosing the well also,) as a safeguard 
against attacks by the Indians. One son of the family vol- 
unteered in a company going to Ogdensburg, and another 
was drafted into the service for a short time. — Letter of 
Mr. Benj. W. Pettibone. Dr. Pettibone's wife died Feb. 8,

Upper Canada, Nov. 11, 18 13; the ball remained in his head 
sixty-five days before it was extracted, and was in the pos- 
session of his son, John A. K., of Alliance, in 1880. He re- 
mained in Burlington hospital until the close of the war, 
and was honorably discharged. He is said to have been a 
Quaker, but I should judge that was a mistake, as he would 
hardly have served in the army if that had been the case. 
His wife was a decided Quaker, and dressed accordingly.

JAMES KINGSBURY OF PLAINFIELD. 14 1 

of his graduation, having already fixed upon teaching as 
his chosen profession, he became associated with Mr. G. 
A. Devvitt, in the instruction and management of the 
Providence High School. At the end of two years he 
commenced the " Young Ladies' High School," at the 
solicitation of many leading citizens of Providence, who 
had long felt the need of such an establishment for the 
education of their daughters. The new school, both in its 
instruction and in all its appointments, was of a higher 
grade than had been before known in Providence. This 
school he maintained with unexampled prosperity for thirty 
years, during which time he superintended the education of 
two generations of a large proportion of the foremost women 
of Providence, and of many from abroad. He retired from his 
long and successful work in 1858. At that time he received 
from the Governor the appointment of State Commissioner 
of Public Schools ; but he held this position but a single 
year, not finding its duties, as then arranged, compatible 
with his health. He resigned in 1859, and was immediately 
made President of the Washington Insurance Company, an 
office which he continued to hold until his death. This 
record embraces but a small part of the work which Mr. 
Kingsbury performed for the benefit of the community. 
Though the founder and instructor of a private school on 
which he depended for his living, he was, from the begin- 
ning, one of the most earnest and active friends and pro- 
moters of public education. He aided largely in bringing 
public opinion to sanction and demand the legislation by 
which the present common schools of Rhode Island were 
created. He was the most active founder and long the 
President of the " Rhode Island Institute of Instruction," 
which did so much to sustain the labors of Mr. Barnard, the 
first Commissioner of the Rhode Island State schools, and 
in a great variety of ways he rendered services which, pos- 
sibly, no other man among us at that time would have been 
able to render. In the promotion of the general cause of 
education he also assisted in founding the '* American Insti- 
tute of Instruction," that national association of teachers, 
which has contributed so largely to the elevation of the pro- 



142 THE KINGSBURY FAMILY. 

fession throughout the country. He was the President of 
this organization for two years, and for more than twenty 
years one of its councillors and managers. 

With the social interests and many of the philanthropic 
and religious institutions of Providence Mr. Kingsbury was 
closely identified. In the early scientific pursuits of the 
"Franklin Society" he took a leading part, and was for sev- 
eral years President. He was for many years at the head of 
the "Young Men's Bible Society"; and he was also for 
twenty years one of the trustees of the " Butler Hospital 
for the Insane." In 1844 he was chosen a member of the 
Board of Trustees of Brown University, and in this capacity 
he rendered most useful services to his Alma Mater. In 
1853 he was raised to the Board of Fellows, and at the same 
time was chosen Secretary of the Corporation, an office 
which he continued to hold to the close of his life. In 
recognition of his various and eminent services in the cause 
of education, the University, in 1856, conferred on him the 
honorary degree of Doctor of Laws. 

He was one of the founders of the Central Congregational 
Church, in 185 1, having previously belonged to the Rich- 
mond vStreet Congregational Church, and in connection 
with both of these churches he maintained Bible classes, 
which embraced not only large numbers of young men of 
the city, but first and last, upwards of two hundred stu- 
dents of the University. This record is condensed from an 
account which appeared in the Providence Journal^ of Dec. 
25, 1874, written by Professor Gammell, of Brown Univer- 
sity. He says finally : " It is services such as these, gener- 
ously and quietly rendered to so many of the most important 
social and religious interests of the community, that have 
ennobled the career which we have thus imperfectly 
sketched. . . . Mr. Kingsbury has furnished an illus- 
trious example of ho\y much even the busiest among us 
may do in a most unostentatious way to make others 
wiser and better, and to render the community a more 
desirable home for the generations which are to come 
after them."

married March 3, 1857, Celia Ann, daughter of Edmund and 
Cinthy (Stewart) Scott, born Nov. 9, 1841, in Genesee Co., N. 
Y. The following is taken from the " Military Order of the 
Loyal Legion of the United vStates." " In memoriam, Cap- 
tain Ezra Wolcott Kingsbury, died at Chicago, Illinois, Feb- 
ruary 9, 1900." " In May, 1862, he was appointed by the Gov- 
enor of Colorado to assist in organizing and recruiting the 
Third Colorado Infantry. In October of that year he was 
commissioned First Lieutenant, and subsequently Captain. 
Thereafter the regiment was consolidated with the Second 
Colorado Infantry, and became the Second Colorado Cav- 
alry, in October, 1863. Our companion was commissioned 
as Captain of Company I, vSecond Cavalry, and was mus- 
tered in January 12, 1863. He was mustered out of the serv- 
ice, August, 1865. He served in Missouri and Arkansas, 
and participated in the campaign which resulted in the 
defeat and capture of Jeff Thompson, and in the battle of 
Prairie Grove, as volunteer aide on General Blunt's staff, 
when he was wounded. Subsequently he participated in 
actions at Little Blue, Washport, Mine Creek, and New- 
tonia, where he was again wounded. Then he was sent to 
Fort Riley, Kansas, for Indian service, where he remained 
until mustered out. Our honored companion came out 
with wounds and shattered health, but no price counted in 
dollars would have bought from him his scars. He was a 
genial gentleman, a welcome and honored companion in our 
Order, sociable, unobtrusive, helpful to those who needed 
help. He was as good a member of our Order as he was a 
soldier, and nothing more could be said." He held in Chi- 
cago the position of General Storekeeper for the U. S. Gov- 
ernment.

THOMAS KINGSBURY OF PLAINFIELD. 



VI. Thomas" Kingsbury {Hemy), of Haverhill, mar- 
ried (i) June 29, 1691, Deborah, daughter of George and 
Joanna (Davis) Corliss, born June 6, 1655, widow of Thomas 
Eastman, who died April 29, 1688 ; (2) January 19, 1702/3, 
Sarah, daughter of Jonathan and Sarah (Moulton) Haynes, 
of Haverhill. He served in King Philip's War in 1676, in 
Lieut Benjamin Sweet's company, and in other Indian wars, 
aud received land on the Saco River, probably as a bounty. 
After the massacre of 1696/7 both Joseph Kingsbury and 
Thomas Kingsbury were in the garrison commanded by 
Thomas Dustin in his brick house. Deacon Joseph Kings- 
bury was one of the claimants of land in Narragansett, 
Township No. i, now Buxton, Me., on account of serv- 
ices of Thomas Kingsbury. He appears by the Haver- 
hill records to have been one of the committee to seat the 
meeting-houle in 1 699-1 700, and to have received six shil- 
lings for compensation. In 1698 he promised to cut and 
carry to Mr. Rolfe, the minister, two quarters of a cord of 
wood ; he affixed his name, with others, to an agreement 
promising to attend meeting in a certain new house of 
worship, when the glass should be put in. His children 
were killed in the Indian attack on Haverhill in 1697, and 
at a later period he appears to have been taken captive and 
carried away by the Indians, and kept by them for a long 
time. According to Pike's Journal, Sergeant Kingsbury 
was killed or taken by the Indians July 3, 1706. Probably 
this Thomas. After his return he appears in Plainfield, 
Connecticut, where a tract of land was given him by the 
proprietors. The dee^ is as follows : 

Whereas thro' the Goodnes of God Thomas Kingsbury is returned 
from a Long Captivity, and is now providentially Cast amongst us, and 
where as that he hath Lost most w''^ he had by the enemies, we the 
subscribers Look upon it our Duty to extend an act of Charity to him 
and that he maye have wherewith all to Live comfortably amongst us

He died in Plainfield, June 11, 1720, leaving a will which 
is on the IVindham Probate Records, dated June 29 {sic), 1720,

JOSEPH KINGSBURY OF NORWICH WEST 

FARMS. 



VII. Lieutenant Joseph' Kingsbury {Henrf), of 
Haverhill, took the oath of allegiance, Nov. 28, 1677 ; mar- 
ried, April 2, 1679, Love, daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth 
(Hutchins) Ayer, of Haverhill, born April 15, 1663. March 
2, 1702/3, wSergeant Joseph Kingsbury was chosen constable 
for the west part of Haverhill, Richard Whittier for the east 
part; tithing-man, March 4, 1700/01; selectman, March, 
1697/98; 1699/1700; 1701/2 ; 1705/6; viewer of fences from 
the Mill brook westward to the Westbridge river, and north- 
ward. He appears to have been a surveyor, as September 
17, 1685, he testifies that he and William Neff were desired 
by Thomas Woodbery and Josiah Beason to measure "a 
certayne parcell of upland and meadow " in Ipswich, for them, 
and "y*^ measure or work above named wee did according 
to o'' best skill and judgment." May 12, 1702, the Town by 
vote made choice of Serg*^ Joseph Kingsbury to appear at 
the next inferior court, to be holden at Salem on the last 
Tuesday of June next, on the behalf of the Town of Haver- 
hill, to answer the said Town's presentment for not being 
provided with a school master according to law. He was 
bookkeeper for Capt. Simon Wainwright, a merchant in 
Haverhill, when Capt. W. was killed by the Indians, and 
his house burned, in 1708. This event seems to have made 
Kingsbury feel that a place more distant from Indian at- 
tacks would be more desirable as a residence, and later in 
the year he removed with his family to Norwich, Conn., 
leaving Haverhill June 14, 1708. He settled in that part of 
Norwich then called the West Farms, now Franklin, and 
erected his dwelling upon Middle or Center Hill, a domain 
that continued in the name of Kingsbury until 1870, when 
it was bought by John G. Cooley, of New York, for his son, 
who had married a daughter of Col. Thomas H. C. Kings- 
bury. Joseph Kingsbury was chairman of the meeting at

tom of the delivery of land by turf and twig, instead of a deed.

dren ; dated February 3, 1757. Norwich Probate Records, II, 
261. Joseph Kingsbury owned at least two slaves, Cuff and 
Phillis, and he bequeathed them to his wife, Ruth. She 
gave them their freedom in Dec, 1773. The two ex-slaves 
removed to Tolland, and after about twenty years they 
were reduced to want, and the Town of Tolland brought a 
suit against Ebenezer Kingsbury, his mother's executor, to 
to make him support them, under the statute requiring all 
masters, or owners, who set slaves at liberty to provide for 
their support if they should come to want. (See Kingsbury 
V. Tolland, Connecticut Reports, 2 Root, JSS-) The Town won 
the suit, but some one remarked that the Kingsburys were 
as numerous as the sands of the sea, and it would be impos- 
sible to recover from the executor. It is stated in the testi- 
mony that Ruth left a clear estate of the value of ^500 
lawful money.

Ninth Company or Trainband in the Fifth Regiment of the 
Colony, May, 1753; Captain, October, 1756. He was chosen 
a member of the Committee of Correspondence in Coventry,

period of the Revolution he returned from the session of 
the General Assembly one Saturday to work for the 
soldiers. His daughter, Priscilla, moulded bullets from the 
lead clock weights, and his son, Joseph, made and baked 
biscuits — both on the Sabbath. Sand bags were substituted 
for lead in the family clock, and on Monday he returned to

t If Martha Kingsbury was beloved by Nathan Hale, the " Martyr Spy," as is 
asserted, the hero must have been a fickle sweetheart, for it is well known that he 
was betrothed at the time of his death to Alice Adams of Canterbury, widow of 
Elijah Ripley, her mother having married Hale's father as his second wife. Alice and 
Hale were in love with each other when she was very young, but the match was

Feb. 20, 1770, in Bozrah. The Rev. Azel Backus, D.D., first 
President of Hamilton College, was his son. He was born at 
West Farms, Oct. 13, 1765 ; grad. Yale College, 1787 ; was 
for twenty years pastor of the Church at Bethlehem, Conn. 
Soon after his settlement there he opened a school with 
special reference to preparing young men for college. This 
school was very successful, and many of his pupils became 
distinguished in both Church and State; elected in Sept., 1812, 
first President of Hamilton College, at Clinton, N. Y. His 
long experience in the instruction of youth was of great assist- 
ance to him as head of the infant college, and under his wise 
supervision the institution prospered greatly; while yet in the 
full vigor of his powers he died there Dec. 9, 1817 ; m. Feb. 
7, 1 791, Melicent, dau. of Josiah Doming, of Wethersfield,

number of Dr. Backus's sermons were published.* He was 
a man of an original cast of thought, distinguished by sus- 
ceptibility and ardor of feeling; was possessed, withal, of 
brilliant talents. Duyckinck remarks that "his biography 
remains to be written in a manner worthy of the part which 
he sustained in caring for the wants of a college among the 
pioneers."

James and Elizabeth Ford ; she died June 25, 1766. 

5 Charles, born Oct. 25, 1749; grad. Yale College, 1769. He was in- 

structed in theology by the Rev. Dr. Hart, of Preston. He 
was ordained pastor of the Church in Somers, Aug. 10, 1774 ; 

besides discharging with remarkable fidehty the duties of a 
parish minister, he received many young men into his family 
for the purpose of preparing them for college and for the 
ministry. Nearly fifty enjoyed the benefit of his instructions. 
Among them were Dr. Leonard Woods, of Andover, Mass. , Dr. 
Hyde, of Lee, Dr. Cooley, of Granville, Dr. Snell, of Brook- 
field, President Moore, of Amherst College, President Davis, 
of Hamilton College, his nephew, Dr. Azel Backus, and many 
others who attained distinction. His high reputation as a 
theologian procured for him invitations to occupy the Chair of 
Theology in two Colleges — Dartmouth and Yale, but in both 
cases he declined, partly because he could not persuade him- 
self that he possessed the requisite qualifications, and partly 
because he was too far advanced in life to wish to make so 
great a change. Dr. Timothy Dwight, President of Yale 
College, and one of his classmates, renders a most affectionate 
tribute to the memory of Dr. Backus, in his Travels in New 
England a?id New York, II., 274-8, and says that as a 
preacher " he was calm, affectionate, solemn, interesting, and 
persuasive. His style and elocution were artless, manly, and 
pleasing, and his reputation placed him in the first class of 
divines." In 1801 he received the degree of D.D. from Wil- 
liams College. He married, 1775. at Franklin, Bethiah, dau. 
of Jacob and Sarah (Palmer) Hill, of Cambridge, Mass., bapt. 
Oct. 14, 1744; died May 25, 1835. He died in Somers, Dec. 
30, 1803. Many of his sermons were published.* His only 
child, Jabez, died suddenly, while a student at Yale College, 
March 16, 1794, in his 17th year. 

6 Eunice, born 1751 ; m. May 14, 1767, Capt. James Hyde, son of Capt. 

Matthew and EHzabeth (Huntington) Hyde, of Franklin ; she 
died March 9, 1778.

New York and imprisoned in the Sugar House ; exchanged 
after a confinement of two months. At the age of 20 he de- 
termined to fit himself for the ministry, and after studying 
with his cousin, Rev. Dr. Charles Backus of Somers, he en- 
tered Yale College in 1784; graduated 17S8; studied theology 
with Dr. Levi Hart of Preston and also with Rev. Dr. 
Perkins, of West Hartford. Ordained pastor of the Con- 
gregational church in West Suffield, May 24, 1792; this charge 
he resigned in 1809, removing to Cambridgeport, Mass., for 
two years; then, in 181 1, to Rhode Island under the patronage 
of the Evangelical Missionary Society; afterwards to Harvard, 
Mass., and finally to Exeter, Conn., where he remained from 
1823 to 1834. He married in 1791 Nancy Hanchett of Suffield, 
Conn., and had five sons. After 1836 he was never settled as a 
pastor, but he continued to preach, chiefly in the State of New 
York, until almost the close of his life, and did much mis- 
sionary work in the new country. His home was at Geddes 
from 1846 to 1856, and subsequently at Syracuse. One of 
the most noteworthy events of his life was his election as 
Chaplain of Congress, December 12, 1856, and again in 1857 
when he was 94 and 95 years old. His faculties were unim- 
paired throughout his long life, and his last sermon was 
preached after he entered on his io2d year. He died in Syra- 
cuse, N. Y., July 30, 1864, aged loi yrs. 10 mos. 20 days. He 
was of about medium height, rather broad-shouldered and 
square built, with an almost youthful elasticity and sprightli- 
ness. He was a very social and genial-tempered man, full of

was above the low arts of dissimulation; he was steady in 
his principles; upright in his dealings; a feeling, a decided, 
and a generous friend to the needy, the helpless, and the 
afflicted. These qualities, united with a large share of 
sprightliness and humor, rendered him beloved as a com- 
panion and highly esteemed as a member of society. He 
was the youngest son and child of Deacon Joseph Kings- 
bury, whose grandfather came out of England, and was one 
of the first settlers of the Town of Ipswich. He removed 
with his family from Haverhill, in the Province (now Com- 
monwealth) of Massachusetts, near the beginning of the 
present century, and settled in the west part of Norwich, 
lately incorporated into a town, by the name of Franklin. 
Haverhill was at that time a frontier town and was fre- 
quently harrassed by incursions of the Eastern and Northern 
tribes of Indians, which occasioned Deacon Kingsbury's re- 
moval. He had a large family, six sons and five daughters, 
who lived to marry and have children. 

" Mr. Kingsbury and his wife, with five of their Children, 
died of a Consumption. More than forty of his relatives 
died of the same disorder, within thirty-eight years from the 
last date. The curious will find it difficult to investigate 
the causes, in a family remarkable for their attachment to 
the agricultural life, from their first settlement in America, 
and who have lived in the common temperate style of New 
England farmers." — Remarks by the Rev. Charles Backus^ D.D., 
in a note to the Funeral Sermon for Bethiah Kingsbury.^

•Rev. Lavius Hyde slates that the famous Rev. Dr. Charles Backus, of Somers, 
was brought up in this family. Rev. Dr. Backus himself says in the same sermon: 
" Related to him as nephew, and educated in the same house in which he lived, I 
should be unnatural not to take part in the mourning caused by his death. But 
there were much stronger ties than these circumstances afford, to engage my 
affections to him. Being left an orphan in my childhood, I was taken under his 
guardianship, and by his generous exertions received a public education. His 
paternal care was continued to me during his life."

sketch of the family is given in a sermon preached by Rev. 
Mr. Arnold of Alstead. The following is extracted from the 
notice of Absalom Kingsbury : " A remarkable providence 
occurred about the year 1772, by which, his barn was nearly 
divided into two parts. While two men were unloading grain, 
a violent wind prostrating much timber, brought one large 
tree directly across the top of the barn near the center, and 
breaking away the timbers before it with a tremendous crash, 
the top fell in not far from the men at work, but neither 
they nor the oxen were injured, although the barn was almost 
ruined." His wife died August 14, 1777, in the 45th year 
of her age ; and he married (2) Mrs. Abigail Wilson, born 
Holbrook, of East Alstead. {Alstead Town Records.) He died

THE KINGSBURY FAMILY. 



727 Judge Sanford' Kingsbury {/oscp/i\ Joseph^, Joseph'', 
Henry^), grad. Yale College, 1763; A. M., Dartmouth Coll. 
1801. He married January 9, 1766, Elizabeth, daughter of 
Captain John and Alice (Fitch) Fitch, of Windham, born 
October 4, 1743. After his marriage he settled in that 
part of Windham called Scotland. He removed to Clare- 
mont, N. H., about 1780. He was appointed Second Lieu- 
tenant by the General Assembly in 1776 ; appointed Captain 
in the Third Battalion of vState Troops, November, 1776 ; 
was on the staff first of General Spencer, then of General 
Sullivan, and Lieutenant-Colonel. He was author of the 
Muster Roll, adopted by Congress; subsequently he was 
appointed Muster Master for the Connecticut troops; also 
Major of the Fort at Ticonderoga imtil the war was over. 
In the summer of 1781 he served on the northern frontier, 
under command of General Enos. The regiment was en- 
gaged in scouting on the west side of the Connecticut. 
The English Government had granted 100,000 acres of land 
on the Island of Cape Breton to 100 citizens of Claremont 
(presumably for services in the Old French War). He was 
appointed an agent for the others to go to Cape Breton and 
survey and divide the land among its grantees. He accord- 
ingly went, and laid out the city of Mira, at the head of navi- 
gation on Mira river. About the time he completed this 
survey he and his men were arrested and imprisoned, in 
order to make them swear allegiance to the King of England. 
Though his men took the oath, he refused, and was kept 
still longer in prison, but, remaining obdurate, was finally 
released. 

Sanford Kingsbury held the offices of Justice of the Peace, 
State Senator, Councillor, Representative to Convention for 
forming a State Constitution, and was prominent in town 
affairs. Also Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas 
for the County of Cheshire, 1783. He was made a trustee 
of Charlestown Academy in 1791. He died in Claremont,

gentleman, a servant entered the room exclaiming, 'Jack is 
in the well ! ' Mr. Kingsbury arose, threw off his coat, ran 
to the well, turned aside the curb, and let himself down the 
well, reaching the water just as the boy was sinking for the 
last time. Catching him by the hand, he sustained him till 
he could be reached by those who had gathered around the 
mouth of the well, and lifted out. ' Jack ' lived to become 
a prominent lawyer of Connecticut." (From Rev. A Kings-

money to buy an outfit by going on a privateering expedi-

to September 26, 1777.* He carried a gun only a few weeks

a man who apparently never thought much of what he had 
done, for although he lived an eventful life, during a long 
and important period, after it was over very few records of his 
life in detail had been preserved. He was commissioned En-

cade and massacres, when the posts were weak and widely- 
separated, but the foe numerous and ever on the alert, was 
one of the greatest toil and danger. He here received the 
well earned promotion of Captain and Major. He distin- 
guished himself by defending Fort Harmar with a small 
number of men against a large body of Indians. An 
account of this exploit is to be found in the history of 
Ohio.* The following General Order bears witness to the 
soldierly qualities of Lieut. Kingsbury, and well illustrates 
the exigencies of the early border service : 

Fort Washington, 14th January, 1791. 
Extract from General Orders : 

The General is highly pleased with the cool and spirited conduct dis- 
played by Lieut. Kingsbury in repulsing a body of about 300 savages, 
who surrounded Dunlap's station on Monday morning last and besieged 
it, endeavoring to set it on five with their arrows, and keeping up a 
heavy fire against his small party for the space of twenty-five hours. 
. . . This spirited defence made by Lieut. Kingsbury, with so small 
a force as 35 men total, old and young, sick and well, and in such bad 
works, reflects the greatest credit upon him and his party. The General 
returns his thanks to him, and directs that the Adjutant transmit him a 
copy of these orders by the first conveyance. 

Jos. Harmar, Brig.-General. 

There is a letter extant which he wrote to his brother 
from Cincinnati, saying that he knew he ought to go East 
to attend to some of his business affairs connected with his 
father's estate, but that he could only get six months leave 
of absence, which would only give him time to go and 
return without having any time for business. His route 
home was via New Orleans; and this was not far from 1800, 

In 1799, he returned to Connecticut upon a furlough, 
where he spent the two following years in the recruiting 
service. He married Novetnber 24, 1799, Sarah Palmer, 
daughter of Dr. Benjamin and Rosanna (Thayer) Ellis, of 
Franklin, born June 17, 1774 (1778, T. S). Miss Ellis was a 
person of intelligence, refinement, force, and dignity, all of 
which characteristics were called in requisition by her sub- 
sequent experience. In 1802, he was again ordered to the 
frontier, and stationed among the Creek Indians in Georgia. 
Towards the close of the following year he was appointed.

Lieutenant-Colonel, and transferred to the Western army, 
and stationed at Mackinaw, whence he was shortly transferred 
to the southwest, where he remained for several years, living 
at Bellefontaine at the mouth of the Missouri river, and at 
Fort Adams on the Mississippi, and in 1809 became Colonel 
of the First Infantry. His services in the southwest cov- 
ered the years in which Aaron Burr figured largely in that 
section. Burr called several times at the headquarters of 
Col. Kingsbury, and was evidently anxious to enlist his sym- 
pathies. But the two never met. Col. Kingsbury regarded 
him with suspicion, and was unwilling to compromise his own 
honor by intercourse with him. During the time of Burr's 
scheme for getting possession of Louisiana. Major Kings- 
bury was in command at New Orleans. He had occasion to 
visit some of the posts on the river above. He knew some- 
thing of what was going on, and he did not know whom he 
could trust. He laid the whole scheme before his wife, and 
virtually put her in command of the fort. Of course the next 
officer must be left in nominal command, but his wife was 
to watch, and at all hazards, in case of an uprising, to pre- 
vent the conspirators from getting possession of the fort. 
Fortunately there was no necessity for action, but she kept 
his counsel and was ready for any emergency. Very early 
in the war of 181 2, Col. Kingsbury was stationed at Detroit, 
and, as he once stated to the writer, was offered the com- 
mand at that post which subsequently devolved upon Gen. 
Hull, but an attack of illness, and his own distrust of the 
plans of the administration, gave him an excuse for declin- 
ing. He always said that no man could have avoided sur- 
render under the circumstances, and that Hull was made a 
scapegoat of to shield a weak war administration. At one 
time he conducted an expedition or transfer of troops from 
Detroit to the Mississippi, going through Lakes Huron and 
Michigan to the Chicago river, up that as far as practicable, 
then making a carry of a few miles to the Desplaines, one of 
the tributaries of the Illinois, and so on to the Mississippi. In 
a letter speaking of this trip he says the position of Chicago 
is a commanding one, and time will see here a great cit}'. 
During the latter part of the war of 18 12 he had charge of 
the forts at New London and Newport, and was appointed

I, ISSUED TO ENSIGN, AFTERWARDS COL. JACOB KINGSBURY. 



JOSEPH KINGSBURY OF NORWICH. 253 

Inspector- General of the Eastern Division of the Army, in 
which capacity he served till the close of the war, when 
he retired, having been forty years in commission in the 
military service of his country. 

At the close of the war he was retired and spent the 
remainder of his life at his home in Franklin, where he had 
an estate of about 400 acres that had been in the family 
since 1707, when Joseph Kingsbury went there from 
Haverhill. 

He was a man of most genial, kindly nature, with a lib- 
eral heart and an open hand, and was held in high esteem 
by all his neighbors. The writer remembers his visits as a 
boy to the old place, Kingsbury Hill. The free hospitality 
of the house, the retainers that seemed to be about the 
kitchen, barn, or yard, ready to hold horses, run of errands, 
or do nothing ; and apparently equally well pleased with 
either. It was an ideal place for a boy. 

Col. Kingsbury was a man of unswerving honor and 
integrity, and followed unflinchingly the path of duty. 
These qualities were strikingly exemplified throughout the 
nearly fifty years of his military life, and won for him uni- 
versal respect and esteem. In the Senate of the United 
States, in January, 1828, Gen. William H. Harrison, subse- 
quently president, said, " The first captain under whom I 
served. Col. Kingsbury of Connecticut, than whom wSparta 
nor Rome never produced a better soldier, informed me 
that he joined General Washington's army with a portman- 
teau filled with clothing, which becoming the common 
property of his brother officers, the stock was soon so re- 
duced that the portmanteau was dispensed with, and the 
remains of his wardrobe carried in the knapsack of a 
soldier." He was a member of the Order of the Cincinnati. 
He died in Franklin, July i, 1837. His wife died December 
16, 1857. [F. J. Kingsbury. '\

903 Charles Ellis, born July 12, 1818 ; had a citizen's appointment 
(that is, an appointment without previous militar}* education) 
in the Second Regiment, United States Dragoons, at the time 
that regiment was authorized by Congress during General 
Jackson's administration, in 1836. He was but 18 years old 
and had never been twenty miles away from home. He soon, 
however, developed into a soldier, and was a favorite with 
the officers and men. After a short term of recruiting service 
at Warrenton, Va., he joined his regiment in Florida during 
the Seminole war, and after seeing some service in the Ever- 
glades, he died the following year, June 9, 1837, of fever, at 
Fort Mellen, Florida. A camp in Florida was named in his 
honor, and for some years the locality retained the name. 
News of his death reached home in Franklin some days 
before the death of his father, which took place July i, 1837; 
but his father was then quite feeble and he was not told of 
the event and died without the knowledge that his son had 
preceded him. [F. J. A'.]

1788, as his second wife. Her brother, Jacob, afterwards 
married a daughter of Dr. Ellis by a former marriage. He 
was a son of Rev. John and Bethiah Ellis, born at West 
Farms, in 1752. He died October 29, 1825. She died De- 
cember lo, 1831. Both buried in Franklin.

788 Doctor Joseph^ Kingsbury {S/j//on\ JVafAa?n'e/^, /o- 

seph"^, Henry'), of Ellington. " He was the son of a farmer, 
and in^his latter years often described the habits of society 
in the days of his youth. Though residing more than a 
mile from the meeting-house, he used in summer, until 
more than a dozen years old, to attend service without hat 
or coat, and with breeches that left the legs bare below the 
knees — a simplicity of dress that was common to boys of his 
age in Ellington at that day. He wrote an elegant hand 
which he had acquired mostly by writing on birch bark, 
then in general use among school boys as a substitute for 
paper." — Stiles' History of Ancient Windsor, /, Sjj. At the 
age of twenty-one he enlisted in Washington's army for three 
years as a fifer, in which capacity he participated in the 
battles of Monmouth and Germantown, and various other 
minor engagements. His service in the Revolution is de- 
scribed as follows in the U. S. Pension Office Rolls : " He 
enlisted, March, 1777, for three years under Capt. Paul Brig- 
ham, in the regiment commanded by CoP^ John Chandler, 
Giles Russell, and Isaac Sherman, as a Fifer, and was in the 
battles of Germantown, October 4, 1777, and Monmouth, 
June 28, 1778. The regiment was at the historic camp of 
Valley Forge in the winter of 1777-8." He was also in the 
company raised for the Lexington Alarm in East Windsor 
and in the State troops as a Sergeant. In early life he had 
intended to be a physician, and while in the service as a

musician he enjoyed some leisure during which he sought 
improvement by observation and otherwise in the hospitals, 
and some of the surgeons readily gave him such instruction 
as might at the moment be practicable. Possessing a re- 
markable aptitude for gathering medical information, and 
for arranging it into some system of ideas peculiar to him- 
self, he quitted the army with a good stock of professional 
knowledge, and after studying awhile with Dr. Joseph B. 
Wadsworth, he commenced practice in Ellington. He mar- 
ried, February 26, 1788, Roxana Allyn, widow of Dr. Wads- 
worth, and daughter of Lieut. Josiah and Ann (Allyn) Allyn. 
She inherited a large fortune, and his health failing, the 
result of the hardships endured in his campaigns, he gradu- 
ally relinquished practice. He was in most cases partial to 
botanic and simple remedies ; his ideas on medical science 
were original ; his success often indicated a peculiar skill ; 
he enjoyed a high rank in his profession ; health and pov- 
erty only were needed to urge him to exertions that must 
greatly have extended his reputation. He was a gentleman 
of the old school and adhered to the costume of the Revolu- 
tionary age. He was Deacon in the church twenty-five 
years.* His wife, who was born April 20, 1753, died March 
5, 1820. He died in Ellington, August 29, 1822, aged 66. 

Dr. Wadsworth, in his will, gives to Doctor Joseph Kings- 
bury "one-third part of what he oweth me for his Instruc- 
tion in Physick, and a book called Ouinzy Dispensatory," 
February 21, 1784. An "old Herbelist " mentioned in Dr. 
Wadsworth's inventory.

He was literally his ' right hand man,' and was ready at all times with sympathy,

4 Demson, born June 18, 1791, in East Hartford; grad. Yale College, 
18 13; at once given charge of the Union School in New 
London. In 1815 he returned to Yale as tutor, and began the 
study of theology, with a \new to the ministry, but in 1S17 he 
was called to the chair of chemistry, mineralogy, and geology 
in the University of North Carolina. Here he proposed and 
executed the first geological survey ever attempted in the 
United States, publishing reports of his work in 1824 and 1825. 
He was appointed in 1825 professor of mathematics and natu- 
ral philosophy at Yale, which chair he retained until 1836, 
when it was divnded at his request, and the department of 
mathematics given to another professor. He devoted much 
time to the study of physical science, 'and he published an 
elaborate theory of hailstones in 1830 which caused much dis- 
cussion, but finally received the general approbation of me- 
teorologists. Prof. Olmsted and his associate. Prof. Loomis, 
were in 1835 the first American investigators to obser\^e the 
Halley comet. He was a member of various scientific socie- 
ties, and his more technical papers may be found in their 
transactions. He also contributed largely to reviews and to 
other periodical literature, especially in the direction of biog- 
raphy. He published a number of text-books on natural phi- 
losophy and astronomy, of which more than 200,000 copies 
were sold. — Appleton's Encyclopedia 0/ American Biogra-

from Mansfield, Conn., to Alstead about 1768. 



282 THE KINGSBURY FAAIILY. 

Waldo, born in Chesterfield, N. H., October 8, 1782, but this 
must be a mistake. Mrs. Parton, Mr. Kingsburj^'s grand- 
daughter, says her grandmother's name was Eunice. 

In the early spring of 1796, he set out with his wife and 
three children to find a home in what was then the far dis- 
tant West. His outfit was a stout farm wagon, drawn by a 
yoke of oxen, and laden with household goods and provis- 
ions ; a horse to carry his wife, and two younger children ; 
a cow to supply milk during the journey ; and for defense a 
rusty Queen's-arm musket, with which an older brother had 
in 1777 done effective service at Bennington. His first 
destination was Oswego, and after leaving Albany his route 
lay through a wild forest, where the road was merely a bri- 
dle-path blazed through the woods. The little company 
were forced to camp out among the trees, the woman and 
children sleeping in the wagon, while the man and the boy 
(his wife's brother), took turns in watching the fire, which 
had to be kept in a constant blaze to frighten away the 
wolves and panthers with which the forest was infested. At 
Oswego, Kingsbury embarked in an open flat-bottomed boat, 
rigged with a single sail, capable of carrying his family and 
household goods, while the young lad mounted upon the 
horse made his way through the woods along the shore, 
with the cow and the oxen. At night the boat would be 
drawn up on the beach, and the camping out experiences 
repeated. In this slow and toilsome way he journeyed thirty 
days, when he arrived at Fort Niagara. Here the order of 
proceeding was reversed. The boat which had carried the 
wagon was now to be carried by that vehicle over the thirty 
miles of portage to Lake Erie. Here too, Kingsbury met 
General Moses Cleveland, agent and director of the Connect- 
icut Land Company, which had recently bought of that State 
the Western Reserve. Cleveland was traveling in the 
wake of a surveying party, who had gone forward to lay 
out this immense tract into townships and cities, and he in- 
duced Kingsbury to become the first white settler in north- 
ern Ohio. Kingsbury selected a piece of ground at Con- 
neaut, near the Pennsylvania line, erected a cabin, and then 
broke up the soil, and planted a few acres. Soon after the 
surveyors left Conneaut, Kingsbury was called by important

business to return to his former home in New Hampshire. 
Going on horseback by the shortest route — overland from 
Buffalo to Albany — he expected to return by the first of 
December ; but that time came without him, or any tidings 
of him, for no mails as yet traveled west of Fort Stanwix, 
near Utica. The winter set in early with great severity. 
Snow fell deep late in November, and well nigh blockaded 
the lonely cabin, and soon the little family ran short of provi- 
sions, and the cattle of fodder. Till the snow came the In- 
dians had brought the family game ; but with the first cold 
weather they had fled, with the birds, southward. To add to 
the mother's trials another child was then born into the 
household, the first white child born on the Western 
Reserve. She ministered to herself as well as she could, 
and at the end of a fortnight managed to drag herself about 
the cabin; and during this time another furious storm broke 
over the little cabin, lasting, without intermission, twenty- 
one days, and piling still higher the heavy drifts that every- 
where covered the forests. It was Christmas Eve when the 
storm cleared away, and a gleam of sunshine broke at last 
through the long overhanging clouds. She went to the 
window to watch the welcome light, and there she caught 
sight of her husband struggling painfully through the drifts, 
on foot, with an Indian guide. The reason of his long delay 
was soon made known to the overjoyed woman. He had 
been stricken down with a fever at his old home, the seeds 
of which he had carried from the malarial swamps at Con- 
neaut. As soon as he was sufficiently recovered and able to 
mount his horse he set out to return, but his progress was 
impeded by the heavy snows. At Buffalo he obtained an 
Indian guide, for the snow had obliterated the trail, and 
none but a native could find the way through the forest. He 
had been exposed day and night, for three long weeks, to 
the fury of the storm. The drifts in many places had been 
higher than his horse's head ; in one of them the animal 
had perished, and he would have shared its fate, but for the 
fidelity of the faithful Indian. 

Mrs. Kingsbury was now prostrated by fever, and unable 
to give her child its natural nourishment. The life of the 
infant then hung upon that of the half-starved cow, whose 



284 THE KINGSBURY FAMILY. 

sole subsistence was the small twigs of the lime, elm, and 
beach, which had been gathered for the winter's fodder. 
The stock of provisions had now become all but exhausted, 
and no supply could be obtained nearer than Erie, twenty- 
five miles distant. The intense frost which had succeeded 
the storm had thickly encrusted the snow, and over it on 
foot and alone, Kingsbury dragged a hand-sled laden with 
the precious eatables. Flour could not be procured, and 
only a bushel of wheat ; but on this, cracked and boiled, 
they managed to keep their souls and bodies together. But 
a great calamity soon befell them. Among the browse for 
the cattle, the young lad had gathered some twigs of the 
oak, not knowing that they were poison to dumb creatures. 
Of these the cow had eaten and died ; and thus the little 
child was doomed to starvation. 

Such was the first winter of the first white settler in 
Northern Ohio. It is not strange that when the surveyors, 
coming to complete their work in the spring, told him that 
some of them intended to locate at the new city they had 
laid out at the westward, he should have decided to leave 
that desolate wilderness. He did so, and thus became in 
June, 1797, the first permanent settler of Cleveland, Ohio. 
He lived fifst in a deserted cabin left by some Indian 
traders, who are supposed to have been there in 1786. This 
he occupied till he could build a cabin of his own, which he 
soon did, on a spot directly east of the public square, and 
not far from the present site of the Post-office. On the 
ground near by — now occupied by the City Hall and Cath- 
olic Cathedral — he planted a crop of corn, and thus pro- 
vided against a repetition of the experiences of the previous 
winter, and he was the first who thrust a sickle into the first 
wheat field planted in the soil of the Reserve. 

In 1800, Governor St. Clair appointed Mr. Kingsbury 
Judge of the Court of Common Pleas and Quarter Session 
of the County. The first session is said to have been held in 
the open air, between two corn-cribs, Judge Kingsbury occu- 
pying a rude bench beneath a tree, the jurors sitting about 
on the grass, and the prisoners looking on from between the 
slats of the corn-cribs. 

A brook running into the Cuyahoga, is called Kingsbury

Run, and is the only memorial which has been dedicated to 
the first settler. At the mouth of Kingsbury Run are the 
works of the Standard Oil Company. 

Just before the battle of Lake Erie, Perry's fleet lay to off 
Cleveland, and was boarded by Judge Kingsbury, who had 
been engaged to furnish it supplies. Having told him that 
he was in hourly expectation of encountering the enemy. 
Perry added, "What would you do, Judge, if he should 
heave in sight before you leave the ship ? " " Do, sir ? " an- 
swered the Judge, already venerable for his gray hairs, " I 
would fight. I can do it as well as the best of you." 

Judge Kingsbury died in Cleveland, December 12, 1847. 
His wife died December 7, 1842.

The Rev. Marvin Root, in his manuscript Reminiscences of 
Coventry, says: " Captain Paul Brigham, afterwards Lieuten- 
ant-Governor of Vermont for many years, raised a company 
of men mostly from this town. While marching through 
Hartford Colonel Wadsworth enquired for a Commissary 
Clerk from his company. Captain B. recommended Andrew 
Kingsbury, of Coventry, who was afterwards Treasurer of 
the vState 25 years from 1793 to 1818." 

He married, in Danbury, January 14, 1783, Mary, daughter 
of Abner and Mercy ( Pettit) Osborn, born in Stamford, Conn., 
October 3, 1761, and a descendant of Captain Richard Osborn, 
who served in the Pequot war, 1637, and settled in Fair- 
field. "In May, 1784, he entered the Pay Table Office 
of Connecticut as a Clerk, in which, and in the Comptrol- 
ler's Office, he served until May, 1791; was then by the Gen- 
eral Assembly appointed Comptroller of Public Accounts, 
in which office he continued until May, 1793; was then 
elected by the freemen of the State, and re-elected annu- 
ally, as Treasurer of the State of Connecticut till May, 181 8 
(a period of twenty-five years), and annually appointed as 
one of the Managers and Treasurer of the vSchool Fund cre- 
ated by the sale of the Connecticut Western Reserve lands 
in Ohio,* till said May, 181 8, and as accountant and book- 
keeper in the office of the Commissioners of said Fund till 
October 31, 1827."! He also held the office of Treasurer 
to the Connecticut Missionary Society, from May, 1799; 
that of Treasurer to the Hartford Grammar School from 
May, 1806 ; and that of Treasurer to the Ministers' Annuity 
Society from May, 181 1, until his death. He held many 
other offices of trust, and was often called upon to serve the 
Town and City of Hartford, on committees, and in other 

•The claim of Connecticut to the territory granted by the Royal Charter of 
1662 was considered as satisfied by the grant from Congress of 3,300,000 acres in that 
part of the Northwest Territory, now Northern Ohio, known as "The Connecticut 
Western Reserve." In 1792 some five hundred thousand acres in the western part 
of the Reserve were devoted to the relief of those persons who had been burned out 
and plundered by the English raids on the Connecticut shore of Long Island Sound. 
The rest was sold under the direction of a legislative committee, and the proceeds 
were devoted to the school fund of the commonwealth. Other lands belonging to 
the State, within its borders, and also in Berkshire Co., Mass., were sold for the 
same purpose. Mr. Kingsbury's signature is found on the records in many parts of 
the State and in Berkshire Co , attached to conveyances of these lands.

ways, and he was considered one of the ablest financiers 
of his day. He died in Hartford, October 6, 1837. His 
widow died in Hartford, April 14, 1848. He and his wife 
became members of the First Church in February, 1815, and 
the Rev. Dr. Hawes, his pastor, describing men of the old 
Puritan stamp, said : "That impersonation of honesty, old 
Andrew Kingsbury, of strong nerve, of lofty character, of 
stern mould." 

He was much interested in horticulture and floriculture, 
and the large and beautiful garden of his residence on the 
corner of Temple and Market streets displayed his favor- 
ite tastes. Rare seeds and grafts were sent to him, 
and he was one of the promoters of the Hartford County 
Agricultural Society, and its annual fairs. He was also 
more interested in genealogy than most people of that time 
were, and his great granddaughter. Miss Talcott, has in her 
possession a chart which he made out, going back to his an- 
cestor, Joseph Kingsbury, who came from Haverhill to 
Norwich, giving the descendants as far as he knew them.

THE KINGSBURY FAMILY. 



850 Ephraim' Kingsbury {Ej)hraim\ Ephraim\ Joseph^, 
Joseph'', Henry'), was graduated from Dartmouth College, 
1797 ; settled in Hanover, afterwards in Haverhill, N. H. 
Ephraim Kingsbury, of Haverhill, N. H., was appointed 
agent for the Hartford Fire Insurance Co., in June, 1814, "to 
insure houses, furniture, stores, merchandise, and barns 
only," in the infancy of the company. He removed to New 
York City about 1835 ; a lawyer ; assistant clerk, U. S. Dis- 
trict Court in New York City; died March 28, 1855, ^^^ '^e^^ 
York. 

He married Margaret Pratt, of Salem, Mass., at Orford, 
N. H., August 28, 1807 ; she died in New York, October 12, 

1859- 

[Ephraim Kingsbury, called " Squire Kingsbury," was a 
man of importance in the town. He held numerous public 
positions, being town clerk and treasurer for a number of 
years, and was also selectman. He was a member of the 
board of trustees of Haverhill Academy, and at one time 
principal of the school. He graduated from Dartmouth 
College in 1797, and afterwards read law, but it does not ap- 
pear that he was in active practice while living in Haver- 
hill. He moved from town about 1834, and went to Con- 
necticut, and thence to New York, where he died in 1855. 
He was a man of much ability, but somewhat eccentric, and 
was noted for extravagant speech and conduct. Once while 
the Methodists were holding tent-meetings in the park, and 
were more than usually demonstrative, Kingsbury went to 
the tent door and read to the meeting the riot act. At an- 
other time, when a piece of road on the Oliverian, which had 
some stone wall in its construction, was to be accepted by 
the town authorities, he said, in describing the character of 
the stone used in the wall : " I can put any three stone in 
it in my eye and wink with perfect ease." — History of Ha- 
verhill, by Rev. J. Q. Bittinger, 11^.

858 Charles' Kingsbury {Sanford\ Joseph\ Joseph\ Jo- 
seph^, Henry^), of Derby, Vt. He was one of the pioneer 
settlers of Derby, and during the first year or two he 
worked on his "clearing," living in a bark shanty through 
the summer months, and returning to Claremont in the 
winter, although the journey was long and tedious. The 
monotony of his labors was somewhat enlivened by frequent 
visits from the bears and wolves, who took much interest in 
the small crop of turnips raised by the settlers for summer

consumption, and also in the few sheep and cattle imported 
into the country. His only solace in his exile was his violin, 
probably the only article of luxury he took from the pa- 
ternal home. He would play the old tunes of his boyhood 
to a small and select audience frequently consisting of him- 
self and " old Ide Indian," who often visited him while his 
wigwam was on the shore of " Salem Pond." Mr. Kings- 
bury became early identified with the growing interests 
of his chosen home. About 1797 his first deed of land 
is dated ; it was situated about half way between the 
center of the town and the Canada line, and about 
eighty yards east of the present traveled road. Here he 
had the first apple orchard in the town, and made the first 
cider. The Kingsbury orchard is still yielding fruit. He 
married, September 17, i860, Persis Stewart, daughter of 
General Stewart, of Brattleboro, Vt., born October 26, 1777. 
In 181 2 he moved to a place about half a mile out 
of the village of Derby Center, and in 1820 removed 
again to the house opposite the Congregational Church, 
known as "the Kingsbur}'' Plaice." He was the first Rep- 
resentative sent from the town to the General Assem- 
bly, holding the office four years, and again in 1828, 
'29, '38, '39. He was Town Treasurer from 1812 to 1833; 
Justice of the Peace for thirty years; Lister from 1816 
to 1826, and Overseer of the Poor for three years. 
" It was said (by the Rev. Charles Backus, of Somers) 
that the Kingsbury family were remarkable for their 
attachment to agricultural pursuits from their first settle- 
ment in America ; that they lived in the common, temper- 
ate style of the New England farmer ; that they were a 
noble-hearted, intelligent, industrious race of the strictest 
integrity, disdaining the low arts of dissimulation, shunning 
the ways of vice, and walking in the paths of virtue and 
piety, and Escf . Kingsbury never brought shame or dis- 
credit upon the good name of his ancestry. From his clear 
perception of right and wrong, his services were often 
solicited in behalf of the widow and fatherless, in set- 
tling estates, and carrying out the wishes and provisions 
of the departed. Although he served the town faithfully 
and well in almost every capacity, yet he could not be 
called a public man. It was in his private circle that his 



JOSEPH KINGSBURY OF NORWICH. 295 

character shone the brightest ; in home loves and friend- 
ships the innate goodness of his nature was displayed 
undimmed and untarnished." 

He died in Derby May 5, 1843, aged 69 years, 5 months, 
and 13 days, and his wife died January 28, 1843.

select school afforded all the opportunities for education he en- 
joyed, after which for several winters he engaged in teaching.

tion has been the labor of his life, though the property did not 
come into his possession until the death of his grandfather.

House of Representatives for two years and in the State 
Senate for one year, being a Republican. He was for six

869 Roxana' Kingsbury {/osf/>/i\ Ebenezer\ Joseph\ Jo- 
seph^, Ilenry^), married vSeptember 20, 1S15, Daniel Wight, of 
Coventry, son of Daniel and Molly (Puffer) Wight, of Med- 
way, and Brimfield, Mass., born June 14, 1793. Mrs. Wight 
had been a pupil of the Rev. Mr. Woodruff, of Coventry, 
and was a woman of strong literary taste, and of unusual 
observation and intelligence. He was superintendent and 
part owner of a factory in Coventry. After his marriage 
he resided in Lebanon, Conn., and then removed to Gris- 
wold. The names of Daniel and Roxana Wight occur in 
the list of organizing members of the Second Ecclesiastical 
Society of Griswold, April 14, 1825, which Society they 
joined by letter from the First Church in Griswold. Mrs. 
Wight died July 21, 1828, in Jewett City, Conn. After his 
wife's death he left Connecticut and settled in Albia, now 
a part of Troy, N. Y., where he had charge of a large 
woolen factory. Every morning at nine o'clock he sum- 
moned the factory employes to prayers by the sound of a 
bell — an incident which gives a glimpse of his character, 
and is an evidence how differently things used to be done. 
On May i, 1832, he moved into Troy, where he lived 
for twenty-two years, being engaged in the wool commis- 
sion business, in partnership with his son, William. He 
married (2) in Troy, May i, 1833, his first wife's niece, 
Sophronia, daughter of Ebenezer and Eunice Backus (Kings- 
bury) Porter. In May, 1856, he removed to Sand Lake, 



JOSEPH KINGSBURY OF NORWICH. 301 

Rensselaer Co., N. Y., where he engaged in the manu- 
facture of satinet warps, stockings, etc., and in a grist mill 
and store. He retired from active business and returned to 
Troy, when his house was burnt in 1862. In 1863 he re- 
moved with his wife and daughter to Bloomfield, N. J. He 
died suddenly in New York City, October 19, 1864, and was 
buried in Oakwood Cemetery, Troy. While living in Troy 
he was, in 1841, school commissioner, and one of the school 
trustees of the Second W.ard, and in 1843 alderman. He is 
still gratefully remembered by " The Ecclesiastical Society 
of North Coventry," as its members are summoned to their 
public worship by the tones of the bell which he caused to 
be placed in the church tower in November, 1847.* His 
widow died in Somerville, N. J., November 10, 1892. For 
her children see page 296.

of Presque Isle, Erie, Pa. ; married there, April 23, 1835,

His widow married (2) Hayward, of Illinois. 

CHILD. 

1183 William Eustis, born February 15, 1836, at Erie; brought up by his 
uncle, T. H. C. Kingsbury, of Franklin ; he entered the U. S. 
Military Academy, but was dismissed for insubordination; was 
for several years clerk in a drug store in Norwich, Conn.; he 
subsequently enlisted in the regular army, and was promoted 
from the ranks, attaining the position of Captain in the Elev- 
enth U. S. Infantry ; he experienced much active service in 
the war between the States, and in Indian warfare on the 
frontier, his latest post being on the Little Big Horn River, 
Montana. He was wounded in the Civil War, and at one 
time shot through with poisoned Indian arrows. By severe 
exposure his health was undermined, and in 1885 he was 
placed on the retired list. He was held in high esteem by 
army comrades, and often complimented by the War Depart- 
ment for his prompt and thorough official reports. Capt. 
Kingsbury inherited the medal of the Cincinnati, as the last 
male descendant of his grandfather. Col. Jacob Kingsbury. 
He died in Norwich, Conn., Oct. 4, 1887, unm.; buried in 
Franklin. 

[William Eustis Kingsbury, the posthumous son of William 
Eustis Kingsbury, entered West Point, but did not gradu- 
ate. He said he came very near being at the head of his 
class, and if a proposed plan had been carried out he would 
have been. Being asked what the plan was, he said, " to 
change ends with the class." On one occasion, being sta- 
tioned next the man who had charge of the morning gun, 
some time in the night the gun went off, and William, being 
asked about it, said the gun looked to him as if it was liable 
to go off, and he meant to have spoken to the man who had 
charge of it, but it slipped his mind. From these incidents 
it will be seen why West Point and he did not agree. The 
truth is that, while he had ability, and was once or twice re- 
instated after being dropped for outrageous pranks, he was 
too full of mischief to hold in. 

After leaving he tried various kinds of business without 
success, and finally enlisted as a private soldier in the U. S. 
Army, and at the breaking out of the war was in Texas in 
Gen. Twiggs' command. On the surrender by that officer

of the U. S. property to the State of Texas, Kingsbury came 
North and obtained a commission in a regiment of volun- 
teers ; he was soon promoted to a captaincy and was retained 
as a Captain on the peace establishment after the war of the 
rebellion. 

After seeing considerable service at the West, and having 
served in the Modoc War, he was retired and returned to 
Norwich, Conn., where he died October 4, 1887. He was a 
popular man among his friends, of great good nature, and an 
inexhaustible fund of humor. He never married. [F. J. A'.] 

904 Charles Denison" Kingsbury {/o/in\ N'athauiel\ 
Joseph\/oscp/r, Henry'), merchant and landed proprietor at 
Waterbury, Conn.; married (i) March 5, 1821, Eliza, daugh- 
ter of Dr. Frederick and Fanny (Johnson) Leavenworth,* 
born in Waterbury, December 17, 1798 ; she died November 
16, 1852; he married (2) Rebecca, daughter of Deacon Eli- 
jah Hotchkiss, of Waterbury, November 24, 1859 ; she died 
December, 1873. He died January 16, 1890. 

[Charles D. Kingsbury was educated in the schools of the 
town and in the Rev. Daniel Parker's school at Ellsworth, 
in Sharon. When 17 years of age he began mercantile life 
as a clerk in Waterbury, In 18 14 he had a serious affection 
of the lungs, but recovered from it, and made a journey on 
horseback to New London, riding all day in sight of Hardy's 
fleet, which was then lying in the Sound, and which after- 
wards attacked Stonington. About this time he studied 
medicine with Dr. Edward Field, and thus acquired the title 
of Doctor, which, among his early acquaintances, he retained 
through life. In the fall of this year (1814) he entered the 
employ of Burton & Leavenworth, and during the winter 
following traveled with Mr, Leavenworth through the 
Southern States selling clocks. After their return he dis- 
solved partnership with Mr. Leavenworth, and spent one 
year in Richmond and the vicinity, selling books for the pub- 
lishing house of Mitchell, Ames & White of Philadelphia, 



* Dr. Frederick Leavenworth was a son of Col. Jesse Leavenworth, of Water- 
bury and New Haven, an officer in the Revolution, and an early settler in Vermont, 
son of Rev. Mark Leavenworth, of Waterbury, Chaplain in Col. Nathan Whiting's 
Regiment in the Old French War, son of Thomas Leavenworth, of Ripton Parish, 
in Stratford, son of Thomas Leavenworth, of Woodbury, who died in 1683.

mostly law books and medical works. He visited the lawyers 
and physicians at the county-seats and at their homes, and 
was everywhere kindly received, frequently spending several 
days at one place. He always referred to his experience at 
that time as extremely pleasant and profitable. He became 
a member of the First Congregational Church in 181 6, and 
remained in full communion therewith throughout his life. 
In the spring of 182 1 he leased and subsequently purchased 
the store where he had formerly been employed, and here 
he carried on a mercantile business for nearly twenty years, 
He also employed men in the manufacture of shoes and 
harnesses, and had a pearl button factory and a sawmill on 
Mad River. In 1838 Mr. Kingsbury's health being impaired, 
he gave up his mercantile business, and thereafter devoted 
himself to the care and cultivation of his land, carrying on 
farming for several years on an extensive scale, and later, 
building and selling houses and selling land. His father 
and' his grandfather were large landholders, and for that 
reason, and because he took an interest in the subject, he 
probably possessed, after the death of his uncle. Judge Bron- 
son, more information in regard to early land lines, bounds, 
and titles, than any other inhabitant of Waterbury. At dif- 
ferent times he held various offices in the town, borough, 
and school organizations. He was, at the time of his death, 
the oldest member of the First Church, and the oldest native- 
born resident of the town. Notwithstanding his great age 
and a naturally delicate organization, he retained his facul- 
ties to a remarkable degree, and kept his elastic step, and he 
kept his accounts regularly, making daily entries until five 
days before his death. He died January 16, 1890, in a house 
on North Main street which he had occupied for nearly sixty 
years, and which was built by his great great-grandfather, 
Thomas Bronson. — History of Waterbury, II, 240-2.] 

" He fulfilled with great fidelity, during his many years, 
the various duties of a citizen, a church member, a house- 
holder, and a neighbor, but did it in a way so unostentatious 
and so simple, that the impression he made upon the com- 
munity did not serve as a measure of his ability and breadth. 
Not alone in his Puritan simplicity, but in his clear-headed- 
ness and intellectual strength, he was a fine representative 
of the older generations of New England men. While in-

different to many of the modern novelties and notions, he 
had a clear apprehension of what was really valuable in our 
modern life, and was prompt to place himself in sympathy 
with it. He did not produce upon those who talked with 
him the impression that he was being left behind in the 
movements of events; he was a man of the times. At the 
same time he delighted in the memories of the past. His 
memory was good and his conversational gifts were of a 
high order; so that it was a real pleasure to sit beside him 
and look upon his vivid word pictures of the days that are 
no more. 

"The lessons of such a life cannot be measured off and 
numbered, and they are of a kind which would gain but 
little heed from this busy world of ours. But we cannot but 
regret that there are so few today who covet that life of 
simplicity and quiet peace which Mr. Kingsbury through 
all these years has so beautifully exemplified." — Obituary 
notice in Waterbury American.

Academy, West Point, 1823 ; married at Fort Brady, Michi- 
gan, June 19, 1825, Jane Creed Stebbins, born in New York, 
March 13, 18 10, daughter of Henry Stebbins, Esq. 

[Julius Jesse Bronson Kingsbury, the second son of Judge 
John Kingsbury, was born October 18, 1797. As there was 
no school in Waterbury of a higher grade than a district 
school, he was sent away from home to pursue his studies. 
In 1819 he obtained, through the influence of David Daggett, 
then a Member of Congress, an appointment as cadet at the 
U. S. Military Academy at West Point. He left West Point 
in regular course in 1823; was attached as Lieutenant to the 
Second Regiment of Infantry, and ordered with a detachment 
of troops to Sault Ste. Marie at the outlet of Lake Superior, 
to assist in building Fort Brady. Here he remained three 
or four years under Major (afterward Col.) Cutler, during 
which time he married Jane C. Stebbins of New York, sis- 



JOSEPH KINGSBURY OF NORWICH 

ter-in-law of Captain Walter Bicker, also of the Second Regi- 
ment. Next he was ordered with a detachment, by sea to 
New Orleans and Nacogdoches. Afterwards he was sta- 
tioned for a time at Mackinaw and Fort Gratiot. During 
the Black Hawk war in 1832 he was in Chicago, attached to 
the commissary department, and saw much hard and dan- 
gerous service. While there — Chicago being then in its in- 
fancy—he purchased, for $700, about thirty-six acres of land 
on the north branch of the Chicago river, near its junction 
with the south branch, and about two acres on the south side 
of the main river, the latter tract in the heart of the present 
city, and the former but a little distant. The land is still in 
the possession of the family, and is of great value. He was 
afterward at Fort Niagara. Still later, during the disturb- 
ances on the northeastern frontier, he was stationed at Han- 
cock barracks, Holton, Me. Thence, after the breaking out 
of the Seminole war, he was ordered with his command to 
Tampa Bay, Fla. There he remained three years (with the 
exception of a short interval), and his constitution was so 
broken up by the combined influence of climate, exposure, 
and fatigue, that he never recovered. On his return to the 
North, he was stationed at Sackett's Harbor, and afterward 
a second time, at Fort Brady. He left this last post early in 
1847 to join General Scott before Vera Cruz. He assisted in 
the capture of that place, and was more or less engaged in 
all the battles which occurred on the march to the City of 
Mexico. For his good conduct in one of the engagements 
near the city, he was brevetted. Throughout the campaign 
he acted as Lieutenant-Colonel of his regiment, though he 
was at that time only a Captain. 

While in Mexico, Captain Kingsbury was attacked by a se- 
vere brain fever, which seriously threatened his life. When 
he had recovered sufficient strength, General Scott sent him 
home on sick leave. In December, 1848, having partially 
regained his health, he was ordered, with a part of his regi- 
ment, to California, and remained there nearly two years. 
While there he was promoted and transferred to the Sixth 
Regiment. He returned home in the summer of 1850, but 
too much out of health to be fit for duty. He spent the next 
two years in Washington and with friends at the East, on

sick leave. He then started to join his regiment at St. 
Louis, but was detained at Detroit by illness, and was com- 
pelled to spend the winter there (1852-3). While there, 
owing- to some misunderstanding with the War Department, 
not involving his integrity or honor, his name was stricken 
from the army roll. Conceiving himself to have been un- 
fairly treated, he declined to make any explanation, or ,to 
hold any communication with the Department. Before his 
death, however, he settled all his accounts with the Govern- 
ment and received a balance which was found due him. 

He died in Washington, when on the point of leaving for 
the East, on June 26, 1856. His remains were brought to 
Waterbury, and he was buried here, according to his ex- 
pressed wish, in the old burying-ground by the side of his 
father. 

Major Kingsbury was a brave and skillful officer, always 
equal to the duties imposed upon him. He was for nearly 
thirty years connected with the army, and though some- 
times charged with indolence and procrastination in matters 
of detail and routine service, he was active and efhcient in 
the field, and was ever distinguished by honorable conduct. 
He lost his health and ruined his constitution in the public 
service. He left a widow, who died January 16, 1892 ; a 
daughter Mary (since dead), who married Capt. Simon B. 
Buckner, of the United States army, afterward General in 
the Confederate service and Governor of Kentucky ; and a 
son, Henry W., who was killed at Antietam while in com- 
mand of the Eleventh Connecticut Volunteers. His eldest 
son, Julius, died in California in 1850. — History of Waterbury. 
His widow lived for many years in Black Hall, Old Lyme, 
Conn. For thirty years she had accompanied her husband 
in his military life, residing at Mackinaw, Fort Gratiot, 
Detroit, Chicago, Niagara, Sackett's Harbor, and other fron- 
tier posts, in the early days of the West. During his absence 
on active service in Florida, Mexico, and elsewhere, she lived 
with friends in Lyme, and spent the last twenty years of 
her life there. She was a woman of wide social experience, 
interesting in conversation, and graceful in person and 
manner.

wheeled clocks in East Windsor. He afterwards removed 
to Andover, where he died September 26, 1838, aged 78.

his plans, however, and gave special attention to study, with 
a view to teaching, reciting for a time to Rev. Mr. Woodruff, 
of Coventry. He taught for ten successive winters, and gave 
satisfaction to his employers. After his marriage he removed

too many conditions attached for the young man, who looked 
upon a minister, as most people did then, as a little less than 
a demigod, and felt that he was not of the material of which 
gods were made, and the offer was declined. In 1795, at the

February, 1892. He began life as a clerk in his father's drug 
store, but soon entered into railroad work, and at the time of 
his death he was probably the oldest railroad man in active 
service in the United States. He was general freight agent 
on the Erie road from 1853 to 1855, removing in the latter 
year to Cleveland, where for forty- three years he served the 
Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad through its 
varied changes, promoting its growth from many small lines 
into one perfected system. From 1855 to 1881 he was its Gen- 
eral Freight Agent, and few men know that he was the orig- 
inator of many improvements in freight service, especially of 
the through system of fast freight lines in the sixties. From 
1 88 1 to 1886 he was assistant general manager, and then he 
was appointed assistant to the President, performing the 
duties of his office with fidelity and efficiency to the end. His 
ability was known and recognized, not only by the officials of 
that road, but throughout the country, and he was regarded 
as an undisputed authority in traffic matters. Even at his 
great age he was frequently consulted by the younger officers 
of the railroad, so clear was his mind, so excellent the preser- 
vation of his faculties. He was the first Recorder of Paines- 
ville, when the town was incorporated in 1832. He was one 
of the incorporators of the Parish of St. James in Painesville, 
Protestant Episcopal, February 26, 1835, and he was elected 
vestryman April 4, 1836. He presented the church with a 
fine organ, and in later years assisted largely in removing a 
heavy debt on the new church building. ' ' He was a man of 
the purest integrity, of rare ability, of spotless reputation, 
far-reaching in his judgment. God-fearing, honored, loved, 
and mourned by the wide circle of friends his beautiful life 
had influenced, with its great responsibilities faithfully per-

brave, patient spirit, ever caring for others, retaining his life-

and antil his last five days of suffering, he was regularly at

1051 James Waldo' Kingsbury {James\ Absalovi\

married, October 3, 1849, Lucinda Ely, daughter of Andrew 
and Elizabeth (DeWolfe) Williams, born in Becket, Mass., 
February 14, 1825. His business was furnishing stone and 
brick for building purposes. He was a member of the First 
Presbyterian Church. His wife died September 28, 1875. 
He died October 29, 1881, in Cleveland. 

[James W. Kingsbury, w^hose death was announced in 
yesterday's issue, was, in the true sense of the term, one of 
the pioneers of this city, having been born in the present 
limits thereof in April, 1813. He was a son of Judge James 
Kingsbury, who, with his family, arrived in Cleveland at 
the early date of 1797, and soon after entered his log cabin 
at the point now known as Kinsman Street and Woodland 
Hills Avenue. He acquired the ownership of a farm em- 
bracing several hundred acres in extent, and died seized of 
the same, the ownership of which gave the name of Kings- 
bury Hill to the ridge upon which it was mainly situated- 
Mr. James W. Kingsbury was in every way a good man and 
citizen, a gentleman of the old school, frank, open-hearted,

and generous, ever having the confidence and esteem of his 
neighbors and acquaintances. His memory was replete 
with incidents and reminiscences connected with the early 
settlement of the country and the early inhabitants thereof, 
now passed away. It was in the highest degree entertain- 
ing to listen to his recital of personal adventures of the 
hardy pioneers in this then pathless wilderness, the dangers 
encountered and overcome, the hardships endured and sur- 
vived. The decedent, up to the opening of the late civil 
war, adhered to the politics of his father, being a democrat 
of the Jacksonian type, and during the war he was an un- 
compromising war democrat. During the last few years of 
his life party lines were not strictly observed by him, as he 
voted rather for men and measures than for party. Thus 
has another of our most prominent and respected citizens 
departed for his long home. Obituary notice in the Cleve- 
land Leader^ 

His portrait hangs in the rooms of the Historical Society 
on Euclid Avenue, Cleveland.

son of George and Mary (Edwards) Goodwin, and adescend- 
of Ozias Goodwin, one of the first settlers of Hartford. He 
graduated from Yale College, 1806, and then went into busi- 
ness in Hartford. His father, the elder George Goodwin, 
was a member of the firm of Hudson & Goodwin, printers 
and publishers. In 1815, this firm was dissolved, and George 
Goodwin & Sons succeeded to the business of book-selling, 
printing, and publishing; the leading interest then being 
the "Connecticut Courant," which they retained until 1836, 
and for which and numerous other publications they made 
the paper at their mill in East Hartford. In order to give 
more attention to paper- making, which gradually became 
their leading business, Mr. Goodwin removed his residence 
to that part of East Hartford now Burnside, in 1821. Here 
he at once became a leading man in all that concerned the 
welfare of his town, taking strong ground in favor of tem- 
perance, morality, and religion. Three times he represented 
East Hartford in the legislature, but he had no taste for 
political life, and no desire for office. As a citizen he was 
foremost in every good work, always " devising liberal 
things"; as a neighbor kind and helpful, always giving and 
lending ; as a Christian humble and retiring, but utterly con- 
scientious, firm and faithful in duty. He had the delicacy 
and purity of a woman, and the strength and courage of a 
soldier. He loved nature and planted trees in every availa- 
ble spot. He loved good books, chief of all the Bible and 
Matthew Henry, and had the taste of a scholar in his read- 
ing. He loved his church, and gave liberally to build and 
sustain it; and he was for many years an honored officer in 
it, and in the Ecclesiastical Society. Mrs. Maria Goodwin 
died in Burnside, March 6, 185 1. Mr. George Goodwin died 
in Burnside, Februarys, 1878. [^The Goodivins of Hartford^

" They'll miss him in the thronging mart, 
Where, with pure mind and upright heart, 

He held his quiet way; 
And those who trace the record through 

Of all his earthly time, 
Remember naught of wrong or blame,— 
Of folly that might cloud his name, 
Even in his boyhood's prime. 

■ . . . With ever gentle hand. 

Affection's links he won, 
And works of taste around him drew. 
And friendship of the chosen few, 
And plants that bloom above."

September 26, 1838, Susan, daughter of Alexander and Jane 
(Burras) Patterson of New York City, born November 17, 
1809. He was brought up in Coventry, in the family of his 
grandfather, and at the age of eighteen, in March or April, 
1827, moved to New York City, and lived there the rest of 
his life. He entered the service of the American Tract 
Society, where his uncle, Harlan Page, was engaged, from 
his first coming to New York, until the end of his days; he 
became Assistant Treasurer in 1834, and was Treasurer of 
the Society for many years before his retirement in 1887. 
He was connected with the Presbyterian Church for many 
years, successively Ruling Elder in the Sixth Street, Four- 
teenth Street, and Central Presbyterian Churches, and he 
was several times commissioner to the General Assembly. 
The following paragraph appeared in the American Mes- 
senger, relating to the action taken by the American Tract 
Society at the annual meeting in May, 1887, with regard 
to Mr. Kingsbury : 

"In accordance with the direction of the Executive Com- 
mittee, at a special meeting held May 9th, the following 
resolution is offered. As Mr. O. R. Kingsbury has stated 
that on account of increasing age he would decline a re-elec- 
tion as Treasurer, it was : 

" Resolved, That the society, now assembled in annual meeting, can- 
not consent to part with Mr. Kingsbury as Treasurer without placing on 
record its estimate of his long and faithfvil services. A youth of 17, he 
entered the service of the society in 1827 in a subordinate capacity. In 
1834 he was elected Assistant Secretary ; in 1835 was added the duty 
of Assistant Treasurer. He performed the duties of treasurership from 
that time until the present, having received the title of Treasurer in 
1870. He has been annually elected in this capacity for 53 years with 
no dissenting voice. During this period there passed through the treas- 
ury about $17,000,000, and so far as known not one dollar was ever lost 
in connection with his department. During these 60 years he has been 
out of the office from illness but once for any length of time, and only

for three months then. Nor has he taken during these threescore years, 
on an average, one week's vacation per annum. Not a little of the un- 
tarnished reputation of the Society is due to his calm judgment, clear 
view of financial questions, incorruptible integrity, and high Christian 
character. Taking into view the multiplicity of interests involved, the 
amount of money handled in unnumbered small sums, the total absence 
of loss or failure in payment of notes, and the length of unbroken ser- 
vice, it will be difficult to find parallels in the religious or financial insti- 
tutions of the country." 

In connection with this resolution Rev. Dr. William 
Ormiston said that this was a most marvelous record. He 
wished for Mr. Kingsbury many years yet of useful life. 

Rev. William R. Eastman gave some personal reminis- 
cences of the old Tract House that existed in the days of 
his boyhood, when his father (Rev. O. Eastman, for fifty 
years one of the Secretaries of the Society) solicited the 
funds of which Mr. Kingsbury took charge. He said that it 
always seemed to him that the Treasurer was dealing with 
God's silver and gold, and he was glad to have this oppor- 
tunity of paying his personal tribute of respect. 

The resolution was then adopted unanimously by a rising 
vote. 

Mr. Kingsbury was elected Treasurer emeritus. 

[Not a little of the untarnished reputation of the Tract 
Society is due to the calm judgment, clear view of financial 
questions, and incorruptible integrity of Mr. Kingsbury. 
In view of the varied interests involved, the amount of 
money handled in small sums, the absence of loss or failure 
in payment of notes, and the length of unbroken service, it 
will be difficult to find a parallel to his career in the relig- 
ious or financial institutions of the country. Mr. Kings- 
bury was distinguished by a practical bent of mind. 
He was a man of sound sense, a retiring disposition, a 
man of orderly ways, and quiet tastes. His office was to 
him almost as sacred as his church, and there the responsible 
duties of his earnest life were faithfully performed. Obitu- 
ary Notice in N. y. Times Dec. 12, iSSp.] He died in New 
York, Dec. 11, 1889. His wife died June 17, 1849.

1128 Brevet Brigadier-General Charles Peeble' 
Kingsbury {^Horatio Gates', FJcazei', Eleazet\ Joseph'^, 
Joseph"^, Hen/y), was appointed to West Point from North 
Carolina; graduated in 1840, second in a class which num- 
bered among its members the future Generals William 
Tecumseh Sherman and George H. Thomas. He was 
assigned by his own choice to the Ordnance Department. In 
August, 1845, he was directed to report to General Ta3dor, 
then commanding the army of occupation at Corpus Christi, 
Texas. At Buena Vista he rendered valuable service, and 
continued in Mexico during the war as ordnance officer. 
The first account of the battle -of Buena Vista received in 
this country, appeared in the New Orleans Delta, and was 
written by him. It was a remarkably brilliant descrip- 
tion, and was prepared the night after the battle, in his tent, 
with a powder keg for his table. His first promotion was 
for gallant and meritorious conduct at the battle of Buena 
Vista. He was promoted to Captain in 1854 for fourteen 
years' continuous service. The outbreak of the Civil War 
found him on duty at Richmond, Va., and he was soon 
after appointed principal assistant in the Ordnance Office. 
After the news was received that \"irginia had seceded, and 
that Governor Letcher was about to attempt the capture of 
the Harper's Ferry Armory, the Secretary of War, at the 
suggestion of General Scott, immediately ordered Captain 
Kingsbury to the command of the Armory. From the gen- 
eral feeling manifested by the operatives and citizens it soon 



JOSEPH KINGSBURY OF NORWICH. 393 

became evident that any attempt to defend the post by the 
few regulars in garrison must necessarily fail, and to baffle 
the object of the enemy the destruction of the 15,000 mus- 
kets and rifles in the armory was the only alternative. This 
contingency was not contemplated at Washington when 
Captain Kingsbury received his instructions from General 
Scott, but there was no time for deliberation, and with a full 
sense of the responsibility he incurred, he determined, if pos- 
sible, to destroy the Armory and its contents. When the 
report came that Letcher's raiders were within three miles 
of the place the order was given to apply the match ; the 
shops and machinery fell into the hands of the enemy, but the 
arms, for which the expedition was principally undertaken, 
were destroyed. Captain Kingsbury, however, caine near 
losing his life at the hands of an infuriated mob, but the 
manly interposition of a prominent citizen saved him from 
becoming the first victim of the Civil War, and enabled him 
to escape from his captors. He was afterwards ordered to 
report to General McClellan, and he served as Chief of Ord- 
nance of the Army of the Potomac through the Peninsular 
Campaign ; in 1863 he was promoted to Major ; in 1865 he 
was made a Brevet Brigadier-General for gallant and meri- 
torious services in the Civil War. After the siege of York- 
town, and the Seven Days' Battles before Richmond, General 
Kingsbury's health broke down, and he was forced to retire 
from active service for a time. Later he was appointed 
to Rock Island Arsenal, and began the buildings there, and 
was transferred from them to the Watertown Arsenal near 
Boston, Here, his health failing, he was retired on his own 
application, and made Brooklyn, N. Y., his home. General 
Kingsbury was always a student and a writer. He was the 
author of an " Elementary Treatise on Artillery* and In- 
fantry," and was at one time a contributor to magazines 
and journals. An interesting incident of General Kings- 
bury's life is that he was the first nian to urge General 
Grant to re-enter the army at the breaking out of the war. 
After this conversation the two men did not meet again 
until General Grant visited the Watertown Arsenal as Presi- 
dent. His first greeting as he shook hands was : " Well, 
Kingsbury, you see I followed your advice." General

THE KINGSBURY FAMILY. 



Kingsbury died in Brooklyn, N. Y., December 25, 1878. 
Generals Hancock, Slocum, Casey, Newton, Mitchell, and 
McKeever acted as pall bearers, and the coffin was borne 
by eight private soldiers in uniform from the force stationed 
at Governor's Island. At the funeral services his pastor, 
the Rev. Dr. Cuyler, made the following remarks : 

He spoke of the character of the deceased, and alluded to 
the fact that for eight years he had been a member of that 
church, and had always been one of its most devoted mem- 
bers. The pastor alluded especially to the regularity with 
which General Kingsbury attended upon the services of the 
church. He was always present at the weekly prayer meet- 
ing when he was in the city, and, although his native mod- 
esty and diffidence did not permit him to speak, yet his 
conduct and character was a bright and shining example. 
In speaking of this phase of General Kingsbury's religious 
character, Dr. Cuyler alluded to the incident which occurred 
recently at one of the prayer meetings of the church, when 
in company with (leneral Kingsbury there were Generals 
Casey and Patrick, and all three occupied the same seat — 
three white-haired soldiers — who had been companions in 
arms in Mexico and elsewhere, and were likewise comrades 
in the service of Christ. All were West Point graduates, 
and it was not an uncommon sight to be seen in their prayer 
meetings. Both Generals Casey and Patrick spoke upon 
the occasion with force and power. 

The speaker also alluded to the hearty and aggressive 
loyalty of the deceased, and his firm adherence to the repub- 
lic in her hour of danger. Although his domestic ties were 
on the side of the South, and many of his best and earliest 
friends were in that region, it seemed only to have the effect 
of increasing his love for his country. The deceased was a 
man strong in his convictions upon every point, and this 
trait of his character shows with especial brilliancy in all 
matters connected with his religious life. He was firm and 
well grounded in his faith, and had a reason for it, the same 
as he did in everything else upon which he formed an 
opinion. 

Dr. Cuyler spoke at length upon the connection of the 
deceased with the church which he loved so well and where 
he was so constant an attendant. His life afforded a bright 



JOSEPH KINGSBURY OF NORWICH. 395 

example and was worthy of all emulation by those whom 
he left behind. 

He married, June i, 1848, Mary McMillan of Fayette- 
ville, N. C; she died in Brooklyn, N. Y., April 23, 1888. 

1 132 Barton Price' Kingsbury {John Clark", Eleazer\

September, 1852, Cornelia N. Brown, as his second wife; 
she died in Chillicothe, O., May 3, 1858. He was cashier of 
the Ross County Branch State Bank of Ohio, and after- 
wards cashier in one of the national banks of Chillicothe, O. 
His health failed in 1875, ^^^ ^^ was living at the Good 
Samaritan HospitaJ, Cincinnati, O. (1880).

1136 Theodore Bryant' Kingsbury {jRussell\ Eleazer\ 
Eleazer\Joseph\ Joseph'', Henry'), of Wilmington, N. C. He 
was educated at the Oxford Academy, the Bingham School, 
and was at the Lovejoy Military Academy, Raleigh, for 
two years before entering the University of North Carolina. 
He married, March, 1851, Sallie Jones Atkinson, born May 
5, 1832, daughter of General Roger Pryor Atkinson and 
Margaret M. Littlejohn, his wife, of Haywood county, Vir- 
ginia, a descendant of Richard Bland, and connected with the 
Lees, Randolphs, Pryors, Poytresses, and Mayos, and with 
the Littlejohns, Blounts, Cheshires, and Pettigrews of east- 
ern North Carolina. 

After leaving the University he entered his father's mer- 
cantile establishment and became his partner; but after his 
father's death, in 1856, he retired from business. In 1858 he 
founded and edited the Leisure Hour, a purely literary 
paper, published in Oxford. He has been connected with 
many North Carolina publications, dailies, weeklies, and 
monthlies ; among them the Raleigh Sentinel, the Raleigh 
Advocate, the North Carolina Educational Journal, and the 
Tarboro Southerner. He edited Our Living and Our Dead, a 
historical, literary, and educational magazine, the organ of 
the North Carolina Branch of the Southern Historical

Society. After the first issue he became the editor and the 
principal contributor to the literary department. In 1876 he 
delivered a historical address at the request of the people 
of Oxford, on the 4th of July, upon Granville County. 
The manuscript, if written out in full, would make a volume 
of some 175 or 200 pages. The same year he was invited 
to the editorial chair of the Mommg Star, published at Wil- 
mington, which position he held until 1889. He then re- 
signed and accepted the same position on the Messenger, 
which he still holds, and as a journalist and literary critic, 
he has wielded much influence in his native state. In 1882 
he delivered the literary address before Wilson Female Col- 
lege in North Carolina. An address which he delivered in 
1883, at the request of the Methodists of North Carolina, on 
the Life and Character of Thomas G. Lowe, was published 
in a large edition, which was entirely exhausted. He 
received the degree of LL.D. from the University of North 
Carolina in 1888. "It is no secret to Dr. Kingsbury's 
friends that he could have long since held conspicuous 
public station if he had so willed. In 1876 he was widely 
besought to allow his name to be used before the Demo- 
cratic convention for the office of Superintendent of Pub- 
lic Instruction. Under Mr. Cleveland's administration, 
such was the potency of his editorials in the preceding- 
campaign, and so distinguished were his merits, that the 
entire North Carolina delegation in Congress proffered 
their cooperation to secure hirn a valuable appointment. 
This he declined. And time and again during the shift- 
ing fortunes of our State University he has been sug- 
gested and urged by the press to prominent professorships, 
and to the presidency of the institution. With all his edito- 
rial and literary labors Dr. Kingsbury also fills the office of 
class leader in the Methodist church. He is a close student 
of theology, and enjoys the keen investigation of theological 
questions. A sketch of Dr. Kingsbury, however short, 
would be incomplete without mention of that unerring criti- 
cal faculty which is his highest intellectual gift. Though 
by the force of circumstances, and not by the bent of his 
own talents as a political writer, his most passionate prefer- 
ence is for the discriminating faculty in reference to men 



JOSEPH KINGSBURY OF NORWICH. 397 

and books. He has always been the true friend and ready 
helper of native talent and genuine merit, in whatever field 
of human achievement it reveals itself, and especially in the 
realm of literary pursuits. His work, his example, his words 
of comfort and encouragement have been a blessing and an 
inspiration to many of the younger journalists and literati 
of his beloved Carolina."

THE KINGSBURY FAMILY. 



I184 Frederick John' Kingsbury {Charles Venison^, 
Jo/i/i^, Nai/ia/nel\ Joseph'', Joseph", //(T///^' '), born at Water- 
bury, January I, 1823; married, April 29, 185 1, Alathea Ruth, 
daughter of William Henry and Eunice Ruth (Davies) 
Scovill. 

Frederick John Kingsbury is the only son of Charles Deni- 
son and Eliza (Leavenworth) Kingsbury, and was born in 
Waterbury, January i, 1823. He was educated in the 
schools of the town, and also spent a year and a half, partly 
in study, with his maternal uncle, the Rev. Abner J. Leaven- 
worth, in Virginia. He completed his preparation for col- 
lege with the Rev. Seth Fuller, at that time Principal of the 
Waterbury Academy, and graduated at Yale College in the 
class of 1846. He studied law in the Yale Law School under 
Judge W. L. Storrs and Isaac H. Townsend, and with Hon. 
Charles G. Loring of Boston and the Hon. Thomas C. Per- 
kins of Hartford. He was admitted to the Bo^on bar in 
1848. 

Mr. Kingsbury opened an office in Waterbury in 1849, but 
in 1853 he abandoned the law for the banking business, in 
which and in manufactures and other business enterprises 
he has been since engaged. 

In 1850 he represented the town in the Legislature. 
Having his attention directed to savings banks, and believ- 
ing that a savings bank would be a benefit to the people of 
Waterbury, he obtained a charter for one. He was appointed 
its treasurer, and has successfully administered its affairs 
since that time. In 1853, in connection with Abram Ives, 
he established the Citizens' Bank, of which he has been presi- 
dent for many years. He was a member, also, of the Legis- 
latures of 1858 and 1865, and was chairman of the Committee 
on Banks. In 1865 he was a member of the committee 
on a revision of the statutes of Connecticut. 

In January, 1858, he was made a director of the Scovill 
Manufacturing Company. He was secretary of that com- 
pany from March, 1862, to January, 1864, and treasurer from 
March, 1862, to January, 1866. In 1868 he succeeded S. W. 
Hall as president, and has held that office ever since. He is 
secretary of the Detroit and Lake Superior Copper Company, 
organized in 1867. He was for a number of years a director 



JOSEPH KINGSBURY OF NORWICH. 405 

of the New York & New England Railroad, and is a director 
of the Naugatuck Railroad. 

Mr. Kingsbury has been treasurer of the Bronson Library 
fund since its reception by the city in 1868. He is a member 
of the Board of Agents of the library, and chairman of the 
Book Committee. He has been treasurer of the Protestant 
Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut since 1879. I^ ^^^^ ^^ 
was elected a member of theX^orporation of Yale College, 
and was reelected in 1887, and again in 1893. 

At the centennial celebration of Williams College, Octo- 
ber 10, 1893, he received the degree of LL.D., and the same 
degree from Yale in 1899. He was elected President of the 
American Social Science Association in 1893, 1894, and 1895. 
He is a member of the American Antiquarian Society, the 
American Historical Association, the Connecticut Academy 
of Arts and Sciences, the New Haven County Historical 
Society, the Society of Colonial Wars, and the University 
and Century Clubs. As all this would indicate, he is fond 
of historical and literary pursuits, and of late years he has 
given much attention to sociological questions. He has a 
strong taste for genealogical inquiries, and a remarkable 
memory for minute events and family relationships; so that 
he is a recognized authority in matters of local history.

that school with the valedictory address in July, 1855. He 
entered Yale College in September of the same year, and

in June, 1856, was the successful competitor for the Wool- 
sey scholarship. In April, 1857, his studies were interrupted 
by ill health, and he spent three years in travel in the 
Southern and Western States. When his strength was 
sufficiently reestablished he made the journey on horse- 
back to Williamstown, Mass., entered the Junior class at 
Williams College, and graduated there in 1862. 

On February 24, 1863, he married Sarah L., daughter of 
Charles D. Kingsbury. The same month he was elected to 
the professorship of Latin and French in his alma tnater, 
and immediately went abroad for travel and study. In 
January, 1865, he began his new work. In 1868 he was 
relieved of the task of instruction in French, but remained 
Professor of Latin until July, 1872, when he was elected to 
the professorship of German in Yale College. After an- 
other year spent in Europe he entered upon his duties in 
Yale, September, 1873. While there he wrote and published 
various articles on subjects connected with the German lan- 
guage and literature, and in 1879 published an edition of 
Goethe's " Iphigenie auf Tauris." He received the degree 
of Ph.D. from his al/na mater in 1877, and that of LL.D. 
from Union College, 1881. 

In February, 1881, Professor Carter was elected President 
of Williams College, and was inaugurated in July of the 
same year. His inaugural address excited general interest 
because of the emphasis it placed upon the study of Hebrew 
history and Jewish ideas of our colleges, and his suggestions 
on that subject have been widely adopted. Under his 
administration Williams College has gained in every direc- 
tion. Her teaching force has been greatly enlarged, and 
may be favorably compared with that of any of our colleges. 
Her friends have been multiplied, and her equipment in 
buildings and apparatus much improved. It has been the 
aim of President Carter to hold the institution faithful to 
the best traditions of the New England college; to keep 
prominent the element of personal guidance by the profes- 
sors, and at the same time to multiply and enrich the advan- 
tages offered to each student. He has been to a marked 
degree successful in realizing this ideal. 

President Carter is the author of the Life of Mark Hop-

classmate of her brother at West Point. He was born in 
Kentucky, in 1823, graduated U. S. Military Academy, 1844 ; 
Second Lieutenant, Second Infantry; Assistant Professor of 
Ethics at West Point from August, 1845, to May, 1846; served

instructor of infantry tactics at West Point, August, 1848; 
resigned March 25, 1855. He was superintendent of con- 
struction of the Chicago Custom House in 1855, and Colonel 
of the volunteers raised in Illinois in that year for the Utah 
expedition, but not mustered into service. He then prac- 
ticed law in Kentucky, and after the civil war began he was 
made commander of the vState Guard of Kentucky, and Ad- 
jutant-General of the State. On vSeptember 12, 186 r, he issued 
from Russellville an address to the people of Kentucky, 

• Old residents who attended the ceremony say Lieutenant Buckner was a 
dashing-looking young fellow, and in his new uniform looked every inch a soldier. 
Just as the officiating clergyman pronounced the final words of the service there 
was an alarm of fire ; a neighbor's house was burning. The bridegroom threw off 
his coat, and with the minister and guests ran to extinguish the flames. Lieutenant 
Buckner rendered efficient aid, and bravely rescued an aged colored servant from 
the burning house. Then he returned, resumed his coat, kissed his bride, and 
received the congratulations of his friends.

calling on them to take up arms against the usurpation of 
Abraham Lincoln, after which he occupied Bowling Green. 
He served as Brigadier-General at Forts Henry and Donel- 
son, and after the escape of General Pillow he surrendered 
to General Grant, with 16,000 prisoners and vast stores. He 
subsequently commanded the First Division of General 
Hardee's Corps in Bragg's army in Tennessee. Later he 
was made a Major-General, was in the battles of Murfrees- 
boro and Chickamauga, and surrendered with Kirby Smith's 
army at Baton Rouge, May 26, 1865. He was one of the 
pall-bearers at General Grant's funeral. He was Governor 
of Kentucky, 1887-1891. He was the candidate for Vice- 
President of the National (Gold) Democrats in 1896. He 
now lives in Rio, Ky.

1 190 Colonel Henry Walter' Kingsbury {Julius J. B.\ 
John^, Nathaniel\ Joseph^, fosep/r, Henry'), lived at various 
stations with his parents until old enough to be sent to 
school. After which time he spent most of his vacations 
with his cousin, Frederick J. Kingsbury, in Waterbury, 
Conn. He was at Mr. Churchill's school at vSing Sing, and 
under the kindly care of Mr. and Mrs. Churchill he devel- 
oped most favorably from a boy into a man. He was a 
good scholar, and he formed a steadfast character with the 
highest principles, and the most exacting sense of duty. 
He had been fitted with special reference to West Point, 
and received his cadet appointment through the kindness of 
Hon. S. J. T. Stranahan of Brooklyn. At West Point he at 
once took a high position in his class, and in his last year 
was Adjutant of the Corps. He was much indebted for his 



V

ideals to the influence of his brother-in-law, General vSimon 
B. Biickner, with whom he spent a portion of the last year 
before going to West Point His class was graduated pre- 
maturely on account of the breaking out of the war, and he 
immediately reported fo^ duty, and fought with a battery 
of artillery in the first battle of Bull Run. He was trans- 
ferred to the staff of Major-General McDowell, and acted as 
his Chief aide de camp for some months. During the siege 
of Yorktown and the battles around Richmond he had a com- 
mand in Griffin's battery, and immediately after he took 
command as Colonel of the Eleventh Connecticut Infantry, 
then with Burnside in North Carolina. His predecessor in 
command of the Regiment was his father's cousin, Colonel 
Thomas H. C. Kingsbury, an elderly man. who was soon 
retired from physical disability. The similarity of names 
has led to some confusion in biographical sketches. He 
led his regiment with great bravery at Antietam in the 
famous attack on the stone bridge, was severely wounded, 
and again struck by a ball, while being carried to the rear. 
He died September 18, 1862. 

" He had hardly been with his regiment two months at 
the time of his death, but during that short period he had 
given them great efficiency, and had inspired them with a 
confidence in their youthful leader little short of devotion. 
Before he had been in camp two weeks it was filled with 
little characteristic anecdotes of him, which formed the 
staple, of conversation of the men during their leisure 
hours. Such as, — how he visited the tents in the night to 
see that the men were properly cared for. How he super- 
intended the cook, and gave instruction for the preparation 
of the food. How he ordered solid breadfasts and light 
suppers, and instructed the cook in the use of rice. How 
he ordered the tenderloin steaks which were reserved for 
the officers to be given to the men, saying that his men 
must be fed as well as any of his officers. How he in- 
spected very minutely a sergeant who had accoutred him- 
self with much care, and finally detected one tarnished 
button on his cap, and so, under the guise of a reprimand, 
paid a compliment which went straight to the sergeant's 
heart. In short he had made himself the hero and the idol

of his men — where he would lead they were ready to 
follow. Brave, generous, and affectionate, yet calm, cau- 
tious, and self-contained, enjoying the fullest confidence of 
his superiors as well as the devotion of his men, he com- 
bined talents which seemed peculiarly to fit him for high 
military command." [F. /. A'.] 

He married, December 4, 1861, Eva, daughter of General 
Joseph P. Taylor, and niece of President Zachary Tay-

General Burnside's General Order announcing Colonel 
Kingsbury's death: 

Special Order No. 47 — 

Headquarters 9th Army Corps. 
Mouth of Antietam, Md., September 28, 1862. 
The Commanding General announces to the nth Regiment Conn. 
Volunteers the death of their late commander, Col. H. W. Kingsbury. 
By this sad calamity the army mourns one of the most accomplished of 
those young officers who in a few months have become veterans in their 
country's service. After serving with distinction through the cam- 
paign in the Peninsula, Col. Kingsbury was promoted to his late com- 
mand, and in that office, occupying positions of great responsibility, he 
invariably proved himself equal to the occasion, displaying always a 
gallantry and skill that gave high promise for his future. He received 
his death-wound while bravely leading his men at the battle of Antie- 
tam. As a near friend of Col. Kingsbury, the Commanding General 
wishes to add his testimony to his private worth, to the purity of his 
character, and to the possession of those high qualities of mind and 
heart that form the sterling man as well as the finished soldier. 
By command of 

Majok-Genekal Burnside.

General Washington presented it to Ira Stephens, who was a soldier in his army. 
From him it has descended through the various generations of the Stephens family 
to Ira E. Stephens, of Towanda, Pa. Mr. Stephens has presented this old heirloom 
to the Tioga Point Historical Society, upon the following conditions : Mr. Stephens 
reserves the right of control and possession during his life, should he ever desire to 
exercise it ; at his death the glass is to become the property of the Society to hold 
as long as the Society exists. Should the Society cease to exist, then the glass is to

and graceful act on the part of Mr. Stephens, and one which is highly appreciated 
by the Historical Society. The Society is to be congratulated upon being the recip- 
ient of such an historic and valuable gift. At one time Judge Peters, of Philadel- 
phia, wishing to secure the glass for Independence Hall, offered Mr. Stephens $2,000 
for it.

JOSEPH KINGSBURY OF NORWICH. 433 

The following sketch of his career is condensed from 
Tullidge's History of Salt Lake City, published in 1886, by- 
authority of the City Council. 

[About 1830, when Joseph Coroden Kingsbury was a 
clerk in a store in Ashtabula, O., that neighborhood was 
greatly stirred with the news of the " golden bible " found 
by Joseph Smith. While Kingsbury was yet a lad he be- 
came acquainted with Newel K. Whitney, who was after- 
wards the presiding bishop of the Mormon Church, and in 
1831, when he removed to Kirtland, O., he came again under 
the influence of Whitney. After the labors of the day were 
over he would spend his evenings at the home of Elder 
Whitney, from whose lips and the inspired memory of 
" Mother Whitney " he heard related more fully the won- 
derful narrative of Joseph the Prophet. The following 
year young K. began his business relationship with the 
presiding bishop of the church. He belonged to a certain 
class of elders who were emplcty^ed in the temporal govern- 
ment of the Aaronic Priesthood. At the laying of the cor- 
ner-stone of the Kirtland Temple he was ordained an elder 
under the hands of the Prophet. Next he was ordained one 
of the high council of the Kirtland Stake, which signifies 
that he was one of the first high council in the church. He 
removed to Missouri in 1838, and remained there through 
all the wars and mobbings, until the Saints were expelled. 
He then went to Nauvoo, where he was in the Tithing 
Office under Bishop Whitney as his assistant. He was one 
of the Pioneer Band which started for the Rocky Mountains 
in 1847, and he is considered one of the founders of Salt 
Lake City. He was counsellor to Bishop Lowry, and July 
13, 185 1, he was ordained to the office of a bishop, and as 
bishop of the Second Ward he was one of the original bish- 
ops of Salt Lake City. In i860 began his long connection 
with the General Tithing Store of the church in Utah. In 
1867 he was appointed general superintendent of the Tith- 
ing Office under the direction of the late presiding bishop, 
Edward Hunter. It was a position of great trust, requiring 
much care, patience, and impartiality in dealing with the 
people and the public lands, that they might be satisfied.

isotv', Denison\ Nathaiiier, Joseph^, Henrf), was graduated 
from the Ballston, N. Y., Law School, and admitted to the 
bar in New York, but never practiced ; removed to Florida 
in 1852 and taught school; to Brownsville, Texas, in 1854, 
where he kept a store and was Postmaster. He was a Union 
man and left Texas of necessity for that reason, in 1862 ; re- 
sided in Matamoras, Mexico, during the years 1863 and 1864; 
removed to Illinois in 1866, and returned to Texas in 1874. 
He was a teacher many years, lectured two years, and

children ; (2), September 22, 1865, Emeline Douglas, daugh- 
ter of David and Emily (Owen) Tenney, born in Hanover,

1342 Rev. John Dennison' Kingsbury, D.D. {Joseph\ 
John Denisoii\ Denison^, NatliaideP, Joseph", Ilenry^), of Brad-

1852; A.M., 1855 ; settled at Brandon, Vt., 1856; Winooski, 
Vt., i860; at Bradford, Mass., 1866. He married, February

alma mater in 1876. He has written a number of books, in- 
cluding a History of Bradford. In 1900 Dr. Kingsbury cel- 
ebrated the anniversary of his settlement at Bradford, and 
the following graceful tribute appeared in the Haverhill 
Daily Bulletin : 

" But few, if any, clergymen in New England have had a 
more successful quarter of a century pastorate than Rev. J. 
D. Kingsbury, D.D., of Bradford. In fact, only a compara- 
tively few pastors in all New England can recount twenty-

five years of labor in a single parish. Such cases are rare, 
and when one can be found in these days of changes, it is 
doubly worthy of mention. That of the Bradford pastor is 
as beautiful as it is rare. Beautiful, because so satisfactory 
to the people among whom he has labored to build up the 
Redeemer's kingdom. Rev. Dr. Kingsbury is a pastor in 
the broadest and deepest meaning of that term. In him are 
combined all those qualifications necessary for the momen- 
tous and sacred work devolving upon an ambassador of 
Christ. Very often we hear it said by people, in speaking 
of ministers, that such a one is an excellent speaker in the 
pulpit, but a poor pastor ; or, a good pastor, but a poor ser- 
monizer. But nothing of the kind can be applied to the 
Bradford man of God, who has so successfully presided over 
the Congregational Church in that town for a period of 
twenty-five years. It has also been said of him that he never 
preached a sermon without presenting thought worthy to be 
written in letters of gold, and that at times his eloquence in 
utterance reaches the highest point of finish. He is an im- 
pressive speaker, and always holds the close attention of his 
hearers from beginning to the end of his discourses. Dr. 
Kingsbury is a pastor in a broad and delightful sense, away 
from the pulpit, among his people. His genial and affable 
manners assure him a cordial welcome in every home. 
Especially is he welcomed at the bedside of the sick. As one 
who knows him intimately has said : ' He is a wonderful 
man in sickness ' ; and he is one of the few who know how 
to enter a sick room, and when to leave it. But besides 
being an excellent pastor Dr. Kingsbury is a good citizen. 
He possesses executive ability of a high order, and knows 
how things ought to be done. His judgment seems to be 
unerring in all the questions that come before him ; when 
convinced that a thing is right, he never hesitates to make 
it known. He possesses a wonderful faculty of adaptation 
and application. For twenty-five years no rumor of discon- 
tent has been heard in his parish, and nobody desires a 
change. Favored must be the pastor with such a society, 
and happy must be the people with such a pastor." 

January i, 1901, Dr. Kingsbury severed his connection 
with the Church in Bradford, although he retains the posi-

tion of Pastor Emeritus, and he is now acting as Special 
Representative of the Executive Committee of the Congre-

and Superintendent of Southern Idaho, Utah, New Mexico,

1443 Doctor Charles Andrew' Kingsbury {Amariah\ 
Jabez\ Ephraiiiv', Ej)hratm\ Joseph'', Joseph'', Henry'), of Phila- 
delphia, married, January 31, 1841, Hannah Sinclair Bills, 
of Allentown, N. J.; she died January 5, 185 1, and he mar- 
ried (2), September 29, 1856, Annah Harris Stratton, of 
Mount Holly, N. J., daughter of Dr. Benjamin H. Stratton. 
He died in Philadelphia October 3, 1891. 

He was eight years old at the time of his mother's second 
marriage, and he lived on his stepfather's farm at Guildhall, 
Vt., until he was sixteen. He early developed a great love 
of books, and attended the Wesleyan Academy, Wilbraham, 
and Newbury Seminary, Vt., until at eighteen he was nearly 
fitted for college. During the winter of 1837-8, he taught 
school in East Windsor, Conn., and in 1838 he went to Tren- 
ton, N. J., intending to teach another year before entering 
college, and formed the acquaintance of Dr. Nath'l Brown, 
a dentist of that city. He became a student with Dr. Brown, 
at the same time teaching in Trenton, and in the spring of 
1839 he relinquished his engagement as a teacher and began 
the practice of dentistry. It is stated that he was probably 
the first dentist who successfully applied an electrical cur- 
rent to alleviate the pain of aching teeth. He opened an 
office in Bordentown, N. J., in 1841, and in the fall of the 
same year he removed to Philadelphia, where he soon ob- 
tained a fine practice. In 1842, yielding to a conviction of 
duty which had been steadily growing upon him since his 
conversion at the age of fifteen, he entered the Methodist 
ministry, and was assigned to Haddonfield, N. J. But 
malarial and bronchial troubles so completely shattered his 
system he was obliged to give up pulpit labor, and after 
three years at H. he removed to Mount Holly, N. J., where 
he resumed his dental practice, and also studied medicine, 
graduating from the Philadelphia College of Medicine. In 
1857 he removed to Philadelphia. In 1863 he was active in 
the founding of the Philadelphia Dental College, and he

held the chair of dental physiology and operative dentistry 
for many years. He helped to organize the American Den- 
tal Association, the Odentographic Society of Pennsylvania, 
of which he was the first Vice-President, and its second 
President ; he was a member of the Pennsylvania Associa- 
tion of Surgeon Dentists, and of the Academy of Natural 
Sciences. In 1867 he took a long and leisurely tour in Eu- 
rope, and had many and strong inducements held out to 
him to remain and practice abroad. While in Damascus 
the famous Abd-el-Kader desired his services, but for want 
of dental instruments he was obliged to decline. He pub- 
lished many valuable essays in the line of his specialty, 
mostly contributed to Dental Cosmos. [^Stiles' History of

1 Addison Kingsbury is one of the most noted and success- 
ful paper box manufacturers in New England. The busi- 
ness includes the product from five factories, which are 
located in South Coventry, Rockville, New London, and 
Willimantic in this State, and at Northampton, Mass. Mr. 
Kingsbury is the inventor of the machine for cutting the 



JOSEPH KINGSBURY OF NORWICH. 453 

blanks for the boxes. The industry was started at South 
Coventry in 1868 and rapidly developed, becoming in the 
course of a dozen years one of extensive proportions and 
standing. Millions of boxes are now turned out annually 
by aid of the machinery devised by Mr. Kingsbury. In 
1880, after having established an extensive plant at Rock- 
ville, the far-sighted manager of the industry located a 
factory at Northampton. In 1883 Arthur L. Kingsbury was 
admitted to the firm, and has since been an active partner 
in its interests and business. In 1885 Mr. Kingsbury in- 
vented a gluing machine which is still in use, and also the 
machine for cutting box blanks. These inventions have 
contributed materially to the firm's success. The combined 
production of the firm's factories amounts to upwards of 
two million boxes a year, giving employment to over 150 
hands and doing over $100,000 business annually. One of 
the specialties by which Messrs. Kingsbury achieved their 
success is the furnishing of printed labels with the boxes. 
The founder of the business is also interested in the Kings- 
bury & Davis Machine Company of Contocook, N. H., which 
turns out the machine he invented for cutting blanks, as well 
as other paper-box machinery. He has spent much of his 
time in New York and is a gentleman of wide business 
acquaintance. Mr. Kingsbury was born at South Coventry, 
November 15, 1835, and received a common and select 
school education. He began life as an accountant, but the 
most of his business career has been in connection with his 
paper-box industry and inventions. In politics he is a 
Republican. He is connected with the Congregational 
Church. — Illustrated Popular Biography of Connecticut, iSp/.]

Re^^. Ebenezer Kingsbury. Part of the sketch concern- 
ing him, by Rev. Mr. Miller, before the Presbytery of Lac- 
cawamice : 

" As a preacher, Mr. Kingsbury was grave and deliberate in manner, 
and instructive in matter. In social intercourse he was affable, un- 
assuming and regardful of the feelings and interests of others. He was 
a welcome visitor in families; and from such visits, social or religious, 
he derived much enjoyment. These characteristics of his nature and 
habits rendered him acceptable as a pastor and missionary. He loved 
to look up the families scattered over our hills. They gave him their 
confidence and a cordial welcome, while he made himself at home with 
parents and children. Hence it is not surprising to find frequent record 
of his services in gathering and organizing churches. Of our churches, 
more were formed by him than any other minister. In their trials, sub- 
sequently, he became their prominent counsellor and helper. 

Also from the address of Rev. W. S. Tyler, of Amherst 
College, at the semi-centennial celebration of Rev. Adam 
Miller's pastorate in Harford, Pennsylvania : 

"Rev. Ebenezer Kingsbury, the only minister whom I associate 
with that desk, the only pastor I ever had in Harford, who was settled 
the very year I was born, and dismissed only a year or two before I 
went to college, I always think of,- not as the greatest, or most learned, 

34

or eloquent, but as one of the best, kindest, gentlest, and most saintly 
men that I have ever known. I can see him now, just as I used to see 
him every Sunday in my boyhood, walking past my father's house long 
before anyone else came to meeting (for he always walked, though he 
lived a full mile from the meeting house, and was always there a full 
half hour before the service began) He wore a black silk robe or 
minister's gown, and always had in his hand when he passed our house, 
and when he preached — it seems now as though he always held it in 
his hand — the little black morocco-bound Bible out of which he read 
the Scriptures for the day and in which was carefully placed the two- 
leaved manuscript on which were written all the notes he ever used in 
preaching. Dear old man, — it seems to me as if he was aliuays old, — 
I can never think of him as jesting, or laughing, hardly as sinning, or 
ever changing, — he always seems tome the same unchangeable imper- 
sonation of real goodness." 

Also from th5 same address, this concerns the wife of 
Rev. Mr. Kingsbury : 

" Nor can I forget or fail to mention Mrs. Kingsbury, the wife of 
Rev. Mr. Kingsbury (herself the daughter of a Connecticut clergyman, 
kinswoman of the Willistons, the Storrses, the Paysons, and the Elys of 
New England), who contributed largely to introduce into Harford the 
culture, the refinement and the piety which distinguished her honored 
ancestry and which shone with equal brightness in her own family 
here, even when the town was little else than a wilderness." 

Two of Rev. Mr. Kingsbury's sons were Rev. Mr. Tyler's 
early teachers — N. Williston and Samuel Ely K. In this 
same address Mr. Tyler speak thus of Williston: 

" I shall always think of him as one of Nature's noblemen, so manly 
and noble was his form, and such was the true nobility of his mind and 
character. He died too soon, alas ! for his friends and his native placet 
too young for his usefulness here, but doubtless not too young for his 
whole work in the immortal hereafter." 

Rev. Mr. Kingsbury used to say he liked to hear a baby 
cry in meeting, for then he knew the mother was there.

Lucius M. Boltwood of Grand Rapids, Mich., who for- 
merly lived in Amherst, writes to Mr. J. H. Benton: "The 
Kingburys were very excellent godly people. Deacon 
Kingsbury was an old theology man, and had no patience 
with new measures or 'Taylorism.' They were all very 
plain people. There was a streak of oddity in the family, 
in which the father and mother and daughter Mary cer- 
tainly shared. Deacon Kingsbury was afraid of the theo- 
logical soundness of Prof. E. A. Park, then of Amherst Col- 
lege, and Prof. Park's name on one occasion being men- 
tioned in his presence, Deacon Kingsbury exclaimed, ' Oh, 
he is very unsound.' 'How so?' he was asked. 'Why,' 
said the Deacon, 'he believes that man is a moral agent.' 
' Well, don't you believe so ?' asked his friend. ' No, indeed,' 
replied the good Deacon, ' I believe that he is an immoral 
agent ! " 

The Kingburys were all their lives in quite limited circum- 
stances. He owned a small farm in Alstead, and appears 
to have owned their home in the various places where they 
lived, and he had a small amount of real estate when he 
died at Amherst.

GEORGE NELSON KINGSBURY. 

George Nelson Kingsbury, of Providence, Rhode Island, 
was born in Providence on December 14, 1854, son of George 
Nelson and Sarah Burdick (Eldredge) Kingsbury. He was 
educated in the public schools of his native city. In early 
life he entered the employ of the Richmond Manufacturing 
Company, and for eleven years was connected with the 
Crompton Company, both prominent manufacturers of high 
grade cotton goods, and the latter the pioneer in the manu- 
facture of fustians and velveteens in the United States. 
For a period of nine years, Mr. Kingsbury was the New 
England representative of R. T. Wilson and Company, 
bankers and commission merchants of New York, and later 
he represented a number of leading American manufactur- 
ers in the European capitals. 

Mr. Kingsbury represented Rhode Island as Executive 
Commissioner at the Pan-American Exposition, at Buffalo, 
N. Y., in 1901, and again at the Louisiana Purchase Expo- 
sition, at St. Louis, in 1904. In both instances he was the 
unanimous choice of the Commissions appointed to exhibit 
the resources of Rhode Island at these Expositions, and to 
his energy and executive ability was due, in great measure, 
the success of the representation of his native State at these 
international exhibitions. He is a member of the Provi- 
dence Board of Trade, and deeply interested in the pros- 
perity of his native city.

RESUME OF NOTES ON MARYLAND KINGSBURYS. 

Robert Kingsbury, the only one of his name to be found 
on the Register of Early Colonists, arrived in Maryland in 
165 1, bringing with him Mary, his wife, Elizabeth Wells and 
Edward Wells, his children. He also transported eight other 
persons, settling in what was then Anne Arundell County, 
laid out in 1650, and from which shortly after his arrival 
Calvert County was taken, 1654. As the last named County 
lay on both sides of the Patuxent, when Charles County 
was erected in 1658, the southernmost part of the county 
went into that division, while still later, in 1695, Prince 
George's County was taken from Charles. This mention is 
made here, as the Kingsburys would appear to have moved, 
whereas their location remained very much the same for 
nearly a century, only the legal style and title changing. 

The Province was in a state of great unrest. The Parlia- 
mentary forces were nearing the height of their triumph 
and Lord Baltimore had placed all important offices in the 
hands of Protestants. A large number of Colonists came in 
about this time under the leadership of William Stone, who 
was made Governor, and of the five hundred settlers he had 
promised toward the increase of colonization, many came 
in, as he did, from Virginia. Other detachments arrived 
from the Mother country in the wake of Robert Brooke and 
men who brought many followers. Robert Kingsbury was 
among these, and probably because of the unsettled condi- 
tion of the Province, and the entire loss of power by the 
Lord Proprietary, his Demand Warrant for land under head 
rights was not made out until 1663. That he was seated in 
Calvert County as early as 1654, is shown by a reference in 
the Rent Rolls of Lord Baltimore, which locates another 
plantation "near the land of Robert Kingsbury." In 1661 
his home seems to have been an important point in military 
operations, since order is given that the " Rendezvous of the 



KINGSBURYS IN MARYLAND. 587 

men to be raysed in St. Mary's Charles and Calvert Coun- 
ties, be at Robert Kingsburys." In 1663 he demands land, 
evidently the tract on which he had been living since his 
arrival in the Province, and to which some intermediate 
title had been given by the Commissioners who held the 
Colony "under, and in the name of the Keepers of the 
Liberties of England, by authority of Parliament." His 
original warrant is made out for land on the east side of the 
Patuxent, and can be identified today. The three small 
dots at the head of Land's Creek,* representing the planta- 
tions of Hall, Evans, and Kingsbury. Later he demands 
additional land by reason of his transportion of others into 
this Province, here to inhabit, making in all of this first 
parcell 759 acres, known as the Ordinary. In 1664 he 
became involved in litigation with one Thomas Paget, from 
whom he had purchased 200 acres additional, and to which 
he is refused possession, when he petitions the Provincial 
Court for writ of ejectment. In 1664 a warrant is made 
out for a new grant on the north side of the Patuxent Back 
Pasture, for which patent is issued. Complications arose, 
for in 1668 we find that assignment is made of the Ordi- 
nary, from Samuel Kingsbury, to Thomas Claggett. No 
other mention can be found of Samuel, and in 167 1 le.tters 
of administration are granted to his old foe, Thomas Paget, 
on "all and singular the goods and chattels of Robert 
Kingsbury of Calvert County. Later appraysement re- 
turned." 

James Kingsbury, Doctor of Physick, is the next person 
mentioned, and signs in Nov. 1689 the address of the 
inhabitants of Charles County to their Gracious Majesties, 
King William and Queen Mary. In 1687 a Jonas or James 
Kingsbury, (the entry is almost illegible,) had litigation 
with one Richard Land, while in 1691 Dr. James Kingsbury, 
of Charles County, Gentleman, purchases from Thomas 
Gibson, of the same County, a valuable tract of land, as is 
known from others in patents in the same neighborhood, a 
portion of this tract, having been set apart for a Town in 
1684. At the next Assembly, the locality having been 
found unsuitable, it was untowned by a subsequent Act of 
the Assembly.

588 THE KINGSBURY FAMILY. 

Between 1691 and 1704 Dr. James Kingsbury married 
Elizabeth Evans formerly the wife of Richard Evans, who 
had been one of the settlers on Land's Creek, the Halls, 
Kingsburys, and Evans, having been neighbors, their 
plantations lying on the banks of the above named stream, 
which is known today as Hall's Creek. In 1704 James 
Kingsbury et Uxor, take out letters of administration on 
the estate of Richard Evans, of Calvert County, deceased. 
In 1705 he renders account to the Provincial Court, and 
appears later as possessor of several tracts of land, for 
Richard's orphans. 

In 1724 James and Elizabeth execute a deed of gift to 
their sons James and John, of land in Cecil County. This 
deed sets forth the fact that Elizabeth was the daughter of 
Richard Hall, one of the most prominent men in that part 
of the Province. He held many positions of importance, 
and was a member of the Lower House for several succes- 
sive sessions. 

On April 17, 1684, the entry is made "Mr. Richard Hall 
and Mr. William Richardson, members of this House, are 
denyed entrance into the Upper House by the Doorkeeper, 
Except they would Putt of there Hatts." This would seem 
to denote that these gentlemen belonged to the Quakers. 

In 1724 James Kingsbury made his will, which was pro- 
bated in 1726. No further mention is found of him, apart 
from the accounts which James Jr. and Elizabeth make to 
the Court of their administration, until 1731, when James 
and John, his sons, convey to Elihu Hall of Anne Arundel, 
the land in Cecil Count3^ 

In 1738 James Kingsbury of Calvert County conveys 
Northwick,* in Baltimore County, to Daniel Dulany of An- 
napolis, and in 1743 Elizabeth Kingsbury makes her will, 
leaving James her executor. The estate was settled in 
1746. In 1753 James makes deed of cattle to "loving son 
John," Prince George's County. In 1753 James and Anne 
his wife deed to Samuel Evans a tract of land, Kingsbury's 
Cultivation, in Calvert County, near Evans Range, on Land's 
Creek. In the next few years we find in the Parish Regis- 
ter of Prince George Parish, Prince George's Count, y the 

•"Inherited from Dr. James Kingsbury,"

name of Demilion Kingsbury; mention is also made of 
Gabriel Kingsbury of Annapolis, but these are so frag- 
mentary as to be of little use. About this time mention is 
made of Kingsbury Furnace which played quite an im- 
portant part in the War of the Revolution. 

John, presumably son of James, appears on the Records, 
A.D. 1773, as conveying to a certain John Glassfield and Co. 
one lott of land, lying in the addition to Georgetown, then in 
Frederick County, now in the District of Columbia. 

From Land Office, Prince George County: " Indenture 
between John Kingsbury, of Prince George County, coach- 
maker, and George F. Magruder, Basil Magruder, Thomas 
Magruder, the last being sureties for John Kingsbury, who 
assigns two lots in Marlborough to above-named sureties," 
July 3, 1771. 

Of the connections, the Halls have been and still are 
among the oldest and best families in the State, as are also 
the descendants of the children mentioned in the wills: 
Grooms, Pottingers, Bealls, Magruders, McGills, and Bowies 
of Prince George's County.

came thence a certain Thomas Kyngesburye, a monk of 
that place at the time of the dissolution, and for a long time 
previously. We, wishing- to bestow upon the said Thomas 
a worthy annual pension or suitable allowance for his sup- 
port and better maintenance. Know ye, therefore, that wc^ 
in consideration of our promises, of our special grace and 
with full knowledge and of our own motion, with the ad- 
vice of the Chancellor and Court of Augmentation of the 
Revenues of our Crown, have given and conceded and by 
these presents do give and concede to the said Thomas an 
annuity or annual pension of ^^t,. 6^ 8''. sterling. 

A grant, in similar terms, dated 12 May, 31 Hen. VIII 
(A. D. 1540), a few months earlier in the same year, gives a 
yearly pension of ;^5 to Richard Kyngesburye alias Sher- 
man, who at the time of the dissolution was, and for a long 
time before had been, a monk of the Abbey of Forde in the 
County of Devon. 

(Saint Albans was a monastery of the Benedictine order, 
and it seems quite probable that Thomas Kyngesburye, to 
whom the pension was assigned, was the same person as 
"Thomas Kyngesbery, Benedictine," who proceeded to the 
degree of B.D. at Oxford, March 4, 1511-12. (See Boase, 
Register Univ. Oxoji, p. 44.) The registers are missing 
for 1 464-1 504, both inclusive, so that particulars of Kynges- 
burye's previous degrees cannot be ascertained. Thomas 
Kyngsbery received a formal appointment as Archdeacon 
and Commissary from Robert Cotton, the Abbot, in 153 1. 
In 1536 the words "Authoritate Regiae " are added to his 
title, and then follows William Estis' appointment in 1537.

letter from col. jacob kingsbury to his brother. 

Dear Brother : 

This moment affords an opportunity of communi- 
cating some of my best wishes to you, which are these: the 
blessings of health, the enjoyment of peace, and the cheer- 
full countenances of the fair sex, and your speedy return to 
college, so much for an introduction. 

You will find by this short epistle, the continuance of my 
health, could I be favored with a line from you or any of 
my friends, it would be a great satisfaction to me. I had a 
line from you by Roger Edgerton, which is the only letter 
I have had from home since I left Norwich. Be assured, 
dear Brother, that I am never unmindfull of my friends and 
relations in the country, and a line from you is like a cordial 
to a dying person. (As for news I have none.) I would 
have wrote a few more lines but Mr. Jeremiah Clement is 
waiting, who is the bearer of this, he is here on a visit from 
Norwich. From 

Garrison's, Your dear brother, 

West Point, J. Kingsbury.

Please give duty to parents, love to brothers and sisters, 
and due respects to all. I must omit writing to the rest of 
my brothers for want of time.

LETTERS FROM COL. JACOB KINGSBURY TO ANDREW KINGS- 
BURY, ESQ*". 

FoRT Wilkinson, on the bank of the Oconee River, 

State of Georgia, 
22"'* August, 1802. 
Dear Sir : 

I received Orders from the Secretary of war the 
beginning of last April to take command of this Garrison. 
I left Franklin the 28*'' of April with my family, and pro- 
ceeded to New York by water, and arrived on the first of 
May, remained in New York until the 15'''', then Embarked 
on board the Brig Trialliox Savannah, where we arrived on 
the first of June, after a passage Seventeen days. We had 
a great part of our voyage head winds or a Calm, we had 
one severe Gale in the Gulf Stream, which obliged us to 
Scud, and drove us back a number of Leagues. From 
Savannah we took the Stage to Augusta, and put up at the 
best Tavern in the State, kept by M'' Ashton, whose wife is 
a native of Hartford, and a relation of Major Burr. Augusta 
is a very regular built inland Town, Situated about One 
Hundred and Thirty Miles from the Town of Savannah, on 
a river of the same name. The regular Stage does not run 
any further into the country than Augusta, consequently I 
was necessitated to hire a carriage to convey me to Fort 
Wilkinson, at which place I arrived on the 24"' of June, 
when I had the pleasure of seeing General Wilkinson, who 
had with the other Commissioners just concluded a Treaty 
with the Creek Indians, for a Tract of Land laying on the 
west side of the Oconee. If the Treaty is ratified it is prob- 
able this Garrison will be moved back to the new Boundary 
line next spring. I met with a kind reception by the Gen- 
eral, who gave me the command of this Garrison on the 30"' 
of June. I mustered the whole of the Troops, and dis- 
charged all the Supernumerary Officers, Non-Commissioned 
Officers and privates, and put five Companies into Three, 
with Seventy Six men in each Company, Exclusive of 
Officers, which gives me a command of about Two Hundred 
and Forty men. Including Officers, I am much pleased with 
my command, and prefer it to recruiting. The Situation of

this Fort is beautifull, it is built on an Eminence, about 
Two Hundred Yards from the Oconee River, on the West 
bank, and overlooks the Adjacent Country, which is hilly 
and well watered. My men enjoy better health than I have 
ever known Troops at this season of the Year, which gives 
me reason to suppose it a healthy Situation. I have only 
Seventeen Sick, and none dangerous. I have an Elegant 
garden with a Fish pond in the Center, and have a great 
variety of Vegetables of every kind which you have at the 
Northward. My family all enjoy perfect health, and appear 
to be contented with their Situation, and join with me in 
respects to yourself and family. Please to write immedi- 
ately by mail. I am yours

Dear Sir : 

I have now the satisfaction of writing you from 
this place, where I am as pleasantly situated as I could 
wish, except being absent from my family a great part of 
my time, which is disagreeable; my duty is not severe, I have 
to Muster and Inspect the Troops Monthly, and report to 
the Secretary of War at Washington. I calculated to have 
left Newlondon this day for Franklin, but cannot leave this 
place at present ; and I fear not until our Ships go to Sea ; 
The Frigates United States and Macedonian, and the Hor- 
net Sloop of War, are now at Anchor in the Harbour, and 
are still Blockaded by a British Squadron, laying near the 
mouth of the River ; Commodore Decature intends if possi- 
ble to pass the British Fleet, and put to Sea, but I fear it 
will not be in his power ; Should he not go to Sea this 
Winter, I think it altogether probable, that as soon as the 
River is Frozen across sufficient to prevent our Ships going

up ; That the British will endeavour to pass our Forts and 
burn them ; should they attempt it we shall undoubtedly do 
our best to prevent them, but what would be the result of 
such an undertaking- is, in my mind quite uncertain. What 
do you think of the Montreal Expedition ? I think it is now 
well understood at Head Quarters, Washington, that fifteen 
Hundred of our men cannot take Quebec, nor even go to 
Montreal, unless the}'- go as prisoners of War ; I heard it 
hinted by a Member of Congress when I was at Washing- 
ton a few days before War was declared, that a very few 
men was amply sufficient to take Canada, all that was neces- 
sary to be done was to march a small number of Troops into 
Canada, raise the American Standard, and otTer the inhabi- 
tants their Liberty and freedom from British Tyranny, if they 
would fly to the Standard of the United States, and receive 
protection ; I did not agree with the Honorable member in 
opinion; he consequently I suppose, thought I was a Coward, 
or fond of the British Government ! 

I should be happy to receive a line from you — please to 
present my Compliments to M"'* Kingsbury and family, and 
believe me to remain, 

With unfeigned esteem,

Dear Sir : 

I had the pleasure of hearing, a few days ago, that 
you had so far recovered your health, as to be able to walk 
out; I was confined to my bed with a pain in my side, for sev- 
eral days after I arrived at Franklin from Hartford; but have 
in a great measure recovered. It is rumoured at this place, 
that part of the Officers of the Army are to be disbanded; 
should that be the case, I shall probably be one, as I am

from age, and long service, unable to take the field. I have 
w^ithin a few days past made a contract with a Carpenter, to 
build me a home, that is, to dig a Cellar 42 feet by 37, eight 
feet in the clear, and Stone it, and put up a frame, and cover 
and paint it, and build Two Stacks of Chimneys, with Nine 
fire places, the house is to stand at the South end within two 
feet of where the North end of the old home stood, there is 
about two feet of earth on the Ground, and the remainder 
Six feet is to be blown out of a Rock. I have been fourteen 
years considering whether it is best to build, and have at 
length conducted that a good home would be convenient, 
and have Consequently concluded to build it on a Rock, in 
preference to a Sandy foundation. The Cellar and out Side 
of the house, and Chimneys, are to be completed by the 20*'' 
of next November, for which I am to pay Two Thousand 
Dollars. I paid four Hundred on Signing the agreement, 
and am to pay Two Hundred when the house is raised, and 
two Hundred more when the Chimneys are completed, and 
Twelve Hundred Dollars the 20"' of next November, when 
the work is to be completed. The Carpenter finds all the 
materials, except the Frame, which he is to cut on my land, 
and pay me what it is worth standing in the woods. Please 
to v\rrite and tell me whether I give the Carpenter too much, 
and how you like the plan of the house. Please to make 
my best respects to M" Kingsbury, and family, and believe 
me to remain.

letter from major j. j. b. kingsbury. 

Cantonment Brady, 
Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. Ter., 

Sunday, Feb. i, 1824. 
My Dear Aunt: 

When I left home if I mistake not I pledged 
myself to give you an account of my journey to this or 



6o4 KINGSBURY GENEALOGY. 

whatsoever place fate might direct me. From memory, 
therefore (as I keep no journal), I shall barely say enough to 
comply with my promise. On Friday, the 25th of July, 1823, 
under the guidance of my brother John I took my departure 
for N. Haven. The morning of this day, which was alter- 
nately pleasant and disagreeable, I formed a just representa- 
tion of the feelings of the inhabitants of W y towards 

me. In many countinances regret at parting, with wishes 
for my wellfare were evidently depicted, whilst in others 
envy was shown, and in others a desire that some misfor- 
tune might lower my head (which they imagined I carried 
rather too high), discovered itself. The frowns and smiles 
of the morning were succeeded by weather in the afternoon 
which was unpleasant in the extreme. It rained incessantly, 
nevertheless at Cheshire I called on Mrs. Brandin, and saw 
George, who I am very sorry to say has failed very much, and 
Parson Wood, and Mr. Linsley in Hamden. We arrived at 
New Haven late in the evening and took our lodgings at 
Morse's Hotel, where we found Holmes. I retired to my 
room sick, having-ahigh fever. On the morrow I called on 
some of my friends, took a ride out of the city with friends 
Holmes, Hayden, Nichols, and some students, among the 
number was a son of the Hon. Noah Webster, returned 
much refreshed, and took a packet in the evening for New 
York, where I arrived after a very pleasant voyage on Mon- 
day morning. I reported to Col. McCrea agreeably to my 
orders, in company with friend Holmes, from whom we re- 
ceived orders to join a detachment of recruits for the 5th 
infantry (Hank Waters at St. Peters on the Mississippi), 
which had sailed from there the day before under the com- 
mand of Capt. Plimpton. Saw many friends during this 
and the following day, on the afternoon of which we took 
a voyage in the steamboat for West Point, arrived there the 
same night. Being detained by my tailor I spent three days 
very happily at the Point with my late commander, and 
left the Point for Albany on Friday, the ist of August, ar- 
rived the next day about noon and remained four hours, 
when I took a seat in the stage for Utica and arrived at 
Schenectady the same evening, started very early the next 
morning and arrived at Utica (Sunday, August 3rd). Our 



OLD FAMILY LETTERS. 605 

route lay through a delightful country. My fellow passen- 
gers were very intelligent ; Col. Aaron Burr was of the 
number. Utica is a very lively, pleasant, and thriving town. 
At this place I joined my detachment and took the canal, 
and left it at Rochester on the Sunday following, August 
loth. Rochester is a very flourishing village, situated on 
the Genessee river at the point where the canal crosses it. 
Left Rochester on the loth in the steamboat for Lewiston, 
arrived on the 12th, and marched to Niagara Falls the same 
day, and remained at the Falls four days for the purpose of 
refreshing ourselves, and viewing the wonderful, sublime, 
and beautiful scenery. Marched from the Falls to Buffalo 
on Sunday the 17th, embarked in the steamboat Superior on 
the following morning for Mackinaw, where we arrived on 
the 24th. Our voyage up the Lakes was very pleasant. We 
exchanged passengers at Erie, Painesville, Cleveland, and 
Sandusky, Ohio. At this place I went on shore and trod the 
soil of the vState of Ohio. The scenery between Sandusky 
and Detroit is truly picturesque. Detroit has been long 
settled, and appears now to be very thriving. I had letters 
which I had a good opportunity of delivering at this place, 
as we stopped one night for the purpose of taking on wood 
and procuring supplies, etc. From Mackinaw, having re- 
mained three days there in company with Maj. Cutler, the 
commander of this post, and his family and Lieut. Day, I 
took my depature for this place in a boat. We were two 
and one-half days on our route. At night we encamped on 
shore. My love to all. 

Very affectionately yours, J. J. B. Kingsbury. 



My Dear Brother Charles : 

This post is situated on the right bank of the St. 
Mary's river, at the foot of the falls of the same, 25 miles 
from Lake Huron, and 10 from Superior, in latitude 40 de- 
grees and 30'. The mercury in the Thermometer has stood 
this winter as low as 40 degrees below Zero. It is common 
for it to stand as low as 30 degrees, but still I have suffered 
as little with the cold as in any other in my life. So much

is man a creature of habit. Lt. West (?) of this command 
explored the country between this post and Mackinaw in 
the months of Nov. and Dec. last, and found it very swampy. 
He succeeded, however, in marking out a road which has 
been traveled a number of times this winter, and found it 
very advantageous, as it shortens the distance about one- 
half. The distance is about 59 miles. The inhabitants are, 
with a few exceptions, a despicable race, and a motley crew 
of Canadians and Indians. J. B. K.

Bailey, London, says " Pray tell my brother that his tenant 
Gage desires him to forbear him £10 till Whitsuntide."

Saunders, the Probate Judge, whose duty it was to preempt 
townsites when called upon to do so, refused for some rea- 
son or other to preempt the townsite of Burlington, when 
requested to by the town company. In February of that 
year Mr. Kingsbury, in company with Col. O. E. Learnard 
of Lawrence, and Charles Pearsall, drove to Mr. Saunders' 
home on Long Creek, received Mr. Saunders' written resig- 
nation, and then drove to Lecompton, the State capital, and 
presented the resignation to Governor Medary, who accepted 
it. On March i following Mr. Kingsbury received his com- 
mission as Probate Judge, and on the next day preempted 
the present site of the City of Burlington. He made the best 
Probate Judge the County has ever had, and his records 
were models in their day. He was two years Representa- 
tive of Coffey County in the Kansas legislature, and two 
years County Clerk. He was an authority on early Coffey 
County history, and had a remarkable memory for names 
and dates, and wrote the history of Coffee County for the 
early atlases. He was a brilliant writer, and some of his lit- 
tle poems written for numerous occasions were catchy and 
witty. The campaign songs he wrote in 1892 attracted at- 
tention and were sung in all parts of the State. He joined 
the Masons before coming to Burlington, and then joined 
the. local lodge. He was a member of the Church of the 
Ascension, although in recent years he has been a believer 
in Christian Science." — Burlington^ Kansas Independent.

FRANCIS, Argent, a chevron between three eagles displayed, gules. 

This is the Francis coat of arms described as impaled with those of 
Bracebridge in the church at Kingsbury, Warwickshire, but there are a 
number of variations of this coat, one of which is given in a note on 
page 17, as belonging to a Francis family living in Suffolk, very near 
Boxford. 

This cut is given to show the resemblance between the Francis arms 
and those borne on the old coat of arms belonging to Andrew Kingsbury, 
Esq., of Hartford, reproduced on page 17.
